So i use a wireless adapter to hook up to the internet for this computer because its garbage. When it connects, everything is fine. Then as soon as i click on anything it freezes up, like for example, i double click to open firefox and then nothing happens and when i try to click something else like another icon it doesnt highlight. So i do the fix all ctrl alt del and it opens and as soon as i click on anything it freezes up. Explorer, task manager, everything is froze. I can open another task manager and try and close explorer, but it doesnt. I let the computer sit for 10 minutes so that maybe it can do its thing, but nothing happens. I manually restart computer, wait for internet to connect then it freezes again. FUCK!!!! When it does work and i get on tribes, as soon as i fire plasma or soemone else does it freezes and i have tons of video lag. Then eventually it works sometimes. Anyone have any ideas? besides getting a new computer?

right click on my computer. Hit manage, then go to services. Stop wireless zero config. Maybe might help the internet problem but no idea on the plasma issue lol

noob

or perhaps try right clicking on my computer, go to device manager -> network adapters -> right click on your wireless card, go to properties. hit the advanced tab, and look and see if there is an option for a "multimedia/gaming enviornment". enable that.

Do you have AVG Anti Virus ? if you dont, get it and run it then restart and run it again.

It might be that the driver for it is old
Check the site that the wireless adapter shows and see if you can find the latest ones
