Scan your pc for ad-ware/spyware
Can you be more specific on what 'Online games' Examples..
America's Army, Halo, UT2004, Counter-Strike Source, ect.Quote:

oh, it might also be your set-up is too weak to play the games that you want to play or that you have too much stuff running....or the spyware is hogging up your resources
I am connected wirelessly to the internet. Could that be the problem?
Short answer to that wireless thing, "Yes".
Once even when i had wireless i had not gotten this pause for like a week. Im kindof confused. Did I feck up the internet somehow?
This guy has the same problem as me: http://forums.windrivers.com/showthr...t=56594&page=1
Can someone help me with the problem or atleast find forums with someone that has the same problem and give a link? I really wan't to fix this. Its sooooo annoying. :( :( :(
If it affects streamin video and other internet activities then it is most likely your cabel. if you live in a high popilated area with many other cable connections at peak time your rate of transfer will vary below what you would normaly expect from your package , also if your ISP is well known for being a bit on the crap side change ISP (i cant comment on your ISP as im fae bonnie scotland :p . If you are in good range of your Wireless AP and theres not a huge amout of traffic that shouldnt be your problem. Also as suggested by a few people check for spyware etc and check out the tweaks guide its damn good! :)
