ok, anti virus is AVG, spyware is ad-aware and some panda something aware which picked up more than ad-aware did. i sometimes run msn in the background but the stutter happens when im not running it at times. zone alarm always running and avg idles.

still happens with no sound, and when i half texture and turn all gfx to minimum. thats all i can think of atm.

yeah im also thinking software or a nasty in the system somewhere which the virus/soyware tests having picked up. its a pretty random occurance, i can play it, it will do that stutter, ill quit the game and go back in straight away and it will be fine. got a feeling ill be the only one with this problem.

nah not battery related, its always running off ac power. the laptop is a toshiba tecra s2, 1.83 centrino, 2 gig ram, nvidia 128meg go6600. there should be no issues and even in a 23 player server it runs at 80fps. starting to get very frustrating. checking the cpu usage again its actually using 30%, alt tabing out releaves the stress it seems.

for a few days now iv been having this random stutter problem when i play lfs. its as if theres a anti-virus program running or somkething becasue it drops in a decending order from 90 - 0 fps and then it locks up. sometimes after a restart tho it is fine and goes back to 90.

there ae no programs running in the background, the cpu is only at 10% when lfs is on, its isnt overheating, iv run every god damn anti-virus and spyware out there and i have the latest drivers (card is a nvidia GO 6600 (laptop)). any idea what this is?
