System Lag
What would lag a computer down if your barely using any CPU or memory? I am installing MechWarrior4 right now on my laptop(P-M 2GHz, 2GB DDR2, X700 Radeon Mobility) and not only is it taking quite a long time to install the game but my system is lagging when even just opening the Task Manager or right clicking for a menu, 10 second lag on that. Typing this message and browsing the web seems fine, no network usage or virus's or anything.
The best I can think of is an IRQ conflict maybe? Which I am sure as I just changed out the CD and during which my system was fine. Didn't ever see this on other games installing them, and I just installed Windows(dual boot with Ubuntu).
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? I've seen it before with CD-ROM's on other systems and it's just plain annoying.
