Whenever I play a java-based game it will freeze approximately 3 seconds, then unfreeze about 1 second. That continues as long as I play the game (its not lag, its not my computer being slow, don't even say that).
When it started:
About 5 days ago. I was playing a Java game (runescape) and someone came over so I tried to shut it down as fast as possible by holding in the power button. When I restarted it later, ANYTHING using java had the problem. Before that any java game worked fine.
I use:
Norton Antivirus (think that might be the problem, someone on another site said they turned off Norton Adblocker and it worked temporarily)
Internet explorer
Windows XP
Things I've tried that haven't worked:
