Hi Sixstringr
Not being funny, but have you tried any of the gaming forums?
They may be able to help you, if not here.

I have 1 Gig of PC3200 RAM dual channel - P4 3.0 ghz HT 800 FSB with an ATI
X800 XT PE AGP video card. when i'm running World of Warcraft, i usually
have 250 MB of ram free while playing. I have a free ram monitor and the
amount of free ram doesn't bottom out or anything while the pop up
notifications occur. Also, i have winamp that has the same type of popup
notification (display author and song title) and it does the same thing
with
Winamp. The only thing significant difference in my system since the
format
was that i installed the new Catalyst drivers (upgraded from 5.9 catalysts
to
the 6.2). Any thoughts?

Hey guys and gals; I tried to find the correct newsgroup and this is
where I
ended up, so please bear with me.

I recently formatted because of a bad HDD and have WinXP Pro SP2. When
I
play World of Warcraft in windowed mode (which means that the game only
takes
up a portion of the screen instead of 100% of the screen) the video
will lag
very much if I press any button that causes intellitype software to
generate
a pop-up notification on the screen (such as Num Lock, Caps Lock,
Volume up
or down). If I turn up the Anti-Aliasing on my video card settings to
a
higher setting, the lag becomes much much worse. However, if i play
when the
game takes up 100% of the screen (like any normal game would run) I get
zero
lag / chop when I press the aforementioned buttons on my keyboard no
matter
how strong the Anti-Aliasing may be. I've tried setting World of
Warcraft on
high priority and it doesn't help. Any other suggestions?

P.S. just wanted to mention that I didn't have this problem before the
format and I'm using the same intellitype software as before.
