ascari, epsi, he tried already what u suggested, he wrote it in his first post.

definitly fps based, background program using up resources.

try shut down anything u dont need for the final test.

starting from antivir over firewall up to sound driver/process (yes, windows audio process) or stuff like the printer waiting process (or however that one is called).

if u are good in disabling process u should have around 14 processes running in background which is 99% just microsoft delivered process, if problem persists one of the microsoft processes is hijacked.

however if it persists on both pcs its prolly a virus in the motherbootsector or some program u install by urself like firewall (prolly guess u use the same for both os <: )

ps: make sure u dont have stuff like securom or any other aggressiv copy protection on ur pc.

pps: my pc basically has 20 processes if i start it, could go down to 14 by disabling windows install process and others.

ppps: if u are a coder and want to compile ur code, u can also go down to 3 processes for having maximum power.

the maximum value used for com_soundMegs and com_zoneMegs is "32". This

is because higher values do not really have an effect.

========================================

com_zonemegs - This can be done any value - it all depends on how much memory you have. 32 -:))) It was only in 1999 and 2000 ))) This is what is in the memory of all the console messages. And the story is very important. Even more important com_hunkmegs.
