Whenever I play the game GTA Vice City, the game runs flawlessly at high resolution for a while, but then has intermittent, long and frustrating periods of extreme lag -- seriously my fast car doesn't slow but completely stops. Tabbing out I see my CPU at 100%. But if I open the task manager and sort by CPU, no process uses near that high recourses -- most at zero, some occasionally go above single digits, taksmgr is greatest % for a bit, the gta-vc.exe process never goes over 20%. I've tried lowering resolution, but lag happens just as often.
This is an old game and my quick PC should easily be able to handle it. Seriously, the system requirements for this game are pathetic. I installed on 2 other computers, both are significantly less powerful (one has a 2.4Ghz Celeron processor) and still handle the game well, never lagging.
What could be the cause?
Thanks in advance
