Sounds like you have a memory leak. you need to do a cntl + alt + Delete and end task on any uneeded background tasks.

How much memory do you have...

You also should delete any unnecessary tasks from your startup. go to... Start, Run, type in "msconfig" without the quotes, and hit ok. Here is a link to identify those tasks that are needed and those that are not. Just uncheck the box to eliminate running the unneeded ones, you can always rechenck the box if you later decide you need it.

this might help.

Are you running directX 8.1 and do you have the latest drivers for your video card.

Posted by Ion Siolverbolt on the open tech support forum, it can't hurt and may help.

hmm

well, if all else fails, maybe...

Somone is scanning your ports looking for a way to gain access to your pc...

Somone is pinging you, to lag you because they dont like you...

Maybe you are being hacked!

Try getting a firewall!

yeah... im running the latest drivers
maybe not the latest since nvidia new drivers were released some time ago but it should work
i have directx 8 running so i think it should be ok


as for the hacking part
i did not offend anyone or have important stuff on my comps
anyways im running 3 comps on a shared dsl connection on a
3com router with a firewall and i filter out all extrenal ping packets although i set
one of my hosts as DMZ host the lag thingie did not happen to the dmz host it happened to another PC


i really find this funny it worked real fine before i formatted and i installed the exact similar drivers and stuff
after i formatted

and another thing is that the lag does not seem to happen if i just leave d2 running in its screen .
the lag only happens when i alt-tab to the desktop and leave it there for some time
with d2 running on the other hand


thanx
