Unkwon Stuttering Problems!! Please help me!

[Charnel]

I installed GTA 3 and after playing for a while I noticed that the game started to stutter (skip few frames). So I just thought it was the game but when I loaded up other games the same thing happens! In Dungeon Siege, the mouse becomes uncontrolably laggy. I tried reinstalling my video card driver but that did not help.

Here are my specs:

P4 2.4 GHz
80 gig hard drive
GeForce 4 Ti4200 64 mb
512 DDR ram
Soundblaster Live 5.1
Windows XP

Please help me! Thank you.

are you having any over heating problems?

Hang in there. It can only get better!

I doubt it has to do with heating..... This card has gone through much worse than GTA 3 which is a bit old....

what drivers did you install.

my computer is so fast, it completes an endless loop in less than 4 seconds!

This stuttering started when I had the 41.09 driver from NVidia.

Are you using a cordless mouse? If so which one. If not, try using a white piece of paper for a mousing surface.

Could be winXP SP1. Did you installed that? I have problem with SP1 and my Fifa2003 is the most obvious. It just slow down for a few sec then goes back to normal. It just repeat after a few minutes later. It seems fine after i uninstalled SP1. Maybe you can try it as well...
