Horrible lag

This is in regards to MSN Gaming Zone. I play Age of Empires: The Conquerors
on the Zone. When I get finished with a game I exit the game and then hit the
"Resume" button. After I hit the resume button the game lobby and room I was
in turns white and doesn't respond. I close them after waiting awhile. Then I
enter a lobby and everything seems alright, but the second I enter a room to
wait for launch everything starts lagging horribly. I can't even hit the
'leave' button because it lags so much. It goes from sometimes the white
not-responding screen while waiting to the screen it should be at and that
repeats on and on again if I try to type or leave.

This problem has been giving me trouble for a couple years. I run a Windows
XP if you need to know that.

Hi,

Sounds like a security suite (Norton's perhaps) is locking up
the room while it catches up on the analysis of the room chat
that occurred while you were in the game. If so, disable it
before you go into the game, and then enable it afterwards.
