Vista Lag while playing online games

[Dheran]

Hey Everyone,

I'm running Windows Vista and whenever i try to play any online game such as Counter-Strike(and source), Starcraft, Warrock etc on my pc it get freeze out. I have a very good internet connection and that's the sure its not letting me any kind of problem. Even it does seems to be any memory problem. Still it lags while playing online games. Can any body tell me why i'm having such kind of problem. Would be grateful to you if any body helps me out to resolve this issue.


Thanks.

First off, You must have the disc that came with your hardware.

1. Uninstall the driver for the Linksys Adapter in the Device Manager
2. Disable Wireless Auto Config
a. Hit [Windows Key + R] and type services.msc in the box and hit enter.
b. Find WLAN AutoConfig (Should be near bottom)
c. Right Click it and go to 'Properties'
d. Change start up type to 'Disabled'
e. Click the Stop button if the process is started, which should be.
3. Enter your Linksys Disc and install your driver normally- After you install the drivers, you may have to go back to Device Manager and Install Driver again manually from the disc.

Hope this works for you.

It's a known issue, but Microsoft is next to no help. So here it some advice.

1. Run command prompt by putting 'cmd' (without quotes) into the Start Search, and then right clicking on the program that appears. Select 'Run as Administrator'.
2. The service must be started. Type 'net start wlansvc' (again without quotes). If you are told it has already started, continue to step 3.
3. Find the network name by typing 'netsh wlan show settings' (you know the drill)
4. Type into the prompt the following: netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="[network name]" (this time include the quotes around the network name)
5. You should then get a message saying that auto configuration has been disabled on that network.
