Alright, So i bought a new computer. And the problem is, when ever I play CSS or WoW I get this lag spike every 5mins and it some times crashes my computer. It's becoming annoying as fuck. Do any of you know what's wrong with it? And some one said that it's my internet, and i could understand that because I'm wireless on a desktop... Any help is appreciated. I'll post the specs if needed.

Wireless doesn't mean anything. Try updating your graphics drivers.

And how do I do that?

Find out what graphics card you have. If it's from the manufacturer than you might need to buy a new up to date one.

When the lag spike is over does the game load or does it crash?

A few people that I talked to said that it's the fact that I'm running Vista. I'm going to try and get Xp through warranty later today. Thanks for every ones help.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\

Check for A folder with just a stubpath. Kix.

Btw, or your connection is not setup right or your part of a botnet.
Or all of the above.

This may make me look like a complete idiot, that has no idea how to use computers but, where the fuck is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\
located at? I can't find it at all.
