Ok, my problem is, I don't understand why my computer still lags. and when I try to install the 5.1 drivers, it kills my system resources. the stupid program "devolvr.exe" gets loaded up 4 times when i used the drivers the company provided for me. I uninstalled it and dled the updated version drivers for windows XP. I stil lhave lag. the program "devolvr.exe" is only loaded once this time, but still Lags. Espcially when I run Direct connect or play windows media player. It's a 1.5ghz...I ahve free space (60gb drive, have 10 gb free). Can anyone tell me ways I can improve this? or if anything is defective? I already tested my ram, and it passed all the test, I have checked for viruses(checked and none), and I alread ydefraged my computer 3 times. Please help.

Get rid of all the crappy TSRs that come loaded on the computer. Especialy "Find Fast". Delete the shortcut in the Start Up directory in the Start Menu.
