The CPU will be under around a 50% load at this point. I have used Warez monster's spyware removal guide, but it didn't help. I have updated drivers. Windows XP is updated as well. BF2 ran fine in the past, but it won't run anymore. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. -drummer __________________ http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/5540/tf20kbo2.jpg eVGA nForce 680i Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 2.92GHz eVGA 8800GTS 2 x 1GB Kingston DDR2 800 HyperX 2 x WD Caviar 250GB in RAID 0 Antec TP3 650W Arctic Cooler 7 Pro
