Aye drag and drop will not work

Lets use Imgburn download this to your desktop and install, then double click the ISO image that you downloaded, Imgburn should now open and burn it to the disc making it bootable

ok well i did the RAM test thing you had me do and... well... it just kept on testing. It did like the same test 6 times and so i got the hint that it wouldnt stop doing the same test until i told it not to.
Anyway, everything was successful and there was no failures or errors.

Oh also, this is kinda off topic but not, i remember you giving me this download that searched my RAM and found comparable RAM from its website that was of very good price... but i lost that download a long time ago and i was wondering if you still knew what it was. Im thinking of getting more RAM by May (my birthday)and 2GB of RAM for 50$ i thought was a good price and would like to do it again :D

Your wish is my Command - link to the scanner

After 6 runs it would have found any errors...

To recap:

We have no malware :D
HDD is good ;)
RAM is good ;)
System was cleaned and defragged. ;)

And yet we still have this lag.... Methinks I will do some research and see if there is any little tweak that I have missed. So whilst I am doing that visit BlackVipers page here and look at reducing some services as per the "tweaked" column

No.. no improvement.

Im actually starting to think it might be an outdated sound device? or something to do with that.
Either way, i just gave you all of my systems info, hardware and software. Maybe you can find updates on stuff that i cant find and it might be the issue? thats the only thing i can think of really...

Generally any lag can be caused by the video driver... Let me guess no improvement ?

Everytime i do one of those "free trial! Let us scan you computer for outdated drivers for you ;)" and then i do that, i always get 17 drivers outdated... but of course i can do nothing about it cuz then it says "Oh ;) you want us to fix it for you? that sucks buy it for 30$!"

They are a bit of a rip off as you can easily find them yourself - google realtek drivers download and see. This first four or five results will be realtek sites where you can get the driver from for free. All you need to do is go to deviice manager and see what devices are installed and then search. I believe you have a camera system on your computer? If so that would be the next driver to update
