Sorry if this has been addressed somewhere before -- I haven't seen it and I tried looking through the support section to no avail.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I just got this computer back in late October, early November, so it's fairly new. I tried playing CS 1.6 yesterday in a server that it said I should've been getting ~30 ping (I tried it with another, too). When I got in there, my ping would fluctuate, spiking up to ~180 and then it would go back down to 50, then to 150 -- it's all over the place. My bf, who was sitting next to me, joined the server and he was getting ~30. We're not really sure why I'm lagging so badly.
We're not on a wireless connection. However, he's running Win7 32-bit. I'm not sure if the fact that I'm on a 64-bit is the problem. I saw a thread where someone else was running on a 64-bit system mention something about WLAN autoconfig in Win Vista/7 that causes people to lag every minute or so, but like I said, I'm not on a wireless connection, so I'm out of ideas.
I went to msconfig and disabled everything that was starting up and, under the Services tab, disabled any non-Microsoft service. I disabled it from Startup, but upon restart, it's still in my system tray and I don't see anywhere to turn it off. I think the problem is in the Services tab. When I uncheck it, it rechecks when I hit Apply. I'm not sure if this could be my problem, but since everything except that is disabled and I'm still lagging, I thought it would be worth mentioning (but I know it might just be a coincidence).
Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if you need any additional info.
Thanks in advance.
