Do you really think my parents will allow me to do that?

Anyways i've done ctrl+alt+del many a time, and all that's running is Explorer, and when running, jazz2. Nothing else. Sometimes MSN Explorer and MSN Messenger, but less than a month ago, that didnt pose a problem.

However i didnt start checking my FPS until 2 weeks ago when i realized my gameplay was starting to get a bit laggy and choppy. So this problem might have been going on for sometime.

All that i can tell you is that i will try and run defrag and scan. Thx for you're help. I will edit this post when i get the results.
