Sudden COD4 Lag.. and I'm at all Lowest Settings?

[veg1992]

My PC is lagging on COD4, I've played COD4 online before and this never happens online, and it works for a while, but sometimes it just hits 3fps for some reason and stops going up or down, I can easily Alt Tab out and end the process via Task Manager, but I was wondering if Windows XP SP3 did it or one of the updates I installed?

Right Now I'm uninstalling it to see if it helps...

The server causes lag. I can get some nasty lag too, depending on what server im on.

Could be SP3. Could also be lag, because of the host.

Thats what I thought too, but I tried multiple servers and all of the ones I tried were US ones ( I used Gametracker Servers to find Cracked servers)

EDIT: I uninstalled SP3 and still no luck, it says "Warning: This IP Address has been banned by Punkbuster" where all the people killed are... even though I've never cheated in my life at COD4.... D: I give up on this game

Is the lag only with gameplay or right from the beginning with multiplayer menu etc?

I had similar problem getting the lag constantly and found out it was a memory leak. Try updating PB and restart comp then play.

Like just 30 seconds in the game is where it starts, but I removed PB and no more lag
