Stupid question

[PoisonPorkchop]

I know this is dumb, but when im playing a game, mainly counter strike, when i press the windows key, (right next to alt), it takes forever to minimize my game. then it takes about 2 minutes to re-open it when i click on it on the windows bar. Whay is this?

Maybe your RAM is going slow.

computer resourses... you have a lot used. You might have a lot of background items that use up memory. Try shutting off some of those and give it a shot.

either lots of programs and stuff eating up ram and using the hdd bandwidth.

Yeah, thats normal dude.

 

[waynejkruse10]

but it still seams rather odd. When i switch out of counter strike it takes no time at all, just the monitor to change resolution. You might be clogged with spyware, virii or junk that runs at startup or some sort of thing like Seti doing its thing while you play slowing the comp down.
