    Suddenly my games started starting up REAL slow, and sometimes dont start up at all.

    I started up RTW, and while it was loading... it just... stopped. The program was running at the bottom in my task bar... just sitting there. I tried clicking on the program, and nothing happened. I then tried to bring up the task manager, and it took forever to come up.

    Then like 5 minutes later, RTW starts up. But by that time, I had like 3 copies of it running at the same time and like 5 copies of task manager, and my comp was running really really laggy then I had to reboot cause I couldnt do anything.

    Anyone know what might be the problem? I checked for Adware, Spyware, and viruses, and couldnt find anything.

    And remember, it SUDDENLY did this. It wasnt doing this yesterday at all.

    I already did defrag it a few days ago.

    It suddenly started working fine again, but it like "switches" from working to not working.

    Maybe it has something to do with my running processes.

    You had 3 RTW processes running because you probably clicled too many times on the shortcut. press control + Alt + Delete, go to task manager and kill everything you don't need. Then see if you have the same problem.
