Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Strange computer issue: WoW and anything

Recently my wow really lags up whenever I open anything in the background.
Open a web brower, I drop to 3fps. Try and watch something on youtube quick, 1fps.
I haven't had this problem until recently, any thoughts H/A?

    Has WoW's application priority somehow been set to low? Open up the task manager and check.

    Installed any new programs lately? Captain is right about task manager. Open it up and see whats going on, then open one of your other apps and see what happens.

    It's also worth running a check disk. It can clear up weird problems. Just go to a command prompt and type in "chkdsk [your drive letter] /r". That will do the full check upon a reboot.
