    Once more, lag with stepmania

    I'm at my wits due to lag. I currently run SM 3.9, and only just today i have experienced heavy lag for no reason. I have closed ALL programs that i have been running, i am not using windows mode, i have removed all themes and additional noteskins, and nothing seems to have any effect. Please, any suggestions?

      1. Start.
      2. Control Panel
      3. Add/Remove Programs
      4. Un-install all unnecessary programs.

          I removed a good chunk of programs, started up StepMania, got halfway through a song then the lag started again........grrrrr v_v

              What are the specs on your computer? If your computer simply doesn't have enough processing power to handle Stepmania, getting rid of more programs won't change it.

                  ctrl + alt + delete then close programs or...

                  maybe download some kind of virus protector? maybe u have a virus?

                  adware is a good virus scanner

                  and maybe you can try defragging.

                  start control panels performance and maintenance and yea lol

                      Removing unnecessary programs/themes/noteskins will do nothing to make it go faster. That just takes up HD space.

                      You might want to check your processes to see if there's anything running in the background that is slowing it down, since it seems like SM was running properly at full speed before (from what I can gather).
                      YOU JUST WON THE GAME! CONGRATULATIONS!

                          Start>Run..."msconfig">Services>[X] Hide all Microsoft Services>Disable All> System Restart

                          ^ I don't really recommend this unless you are fully aware about what you are doing and some of the consequences. It does makes your computer MUCH faster as it doesn't open unnecessary programs.

                              Dude, your computer is probably bad...
                              If it lags running stepmania.
                              And when I say bad I mean, low graphics card and such...
                              RAM...
                              Blahblahblah you get the point.

                                  It's as Yessss (or however many s's :P) said, it was working fine for two moths, then recently it just stopped liking me v_v. I'll try fragging, if that don't work, i was planning to nuke the comp anyways :P

                                  (Before anyone says 'Noez that's going too far for SM' or 'You're addicted to SM' i really WAS planning to nuke the system)
