Lagging due to tricklife.com modifications

[DeadZero0]

 I was wondering if you could help me. I'm not sure why but lately my DP has been really lagging badly, my ping is only like 40-90 though and I'm lagging horribly. Is there a way you could help me? It started lagging after I tried this thing from Tricklife.com. The website itself is good. Most just be that one thing that messed me up.

Is the website, don't worry it's not a virus, just a video.

try and do a system restore to a date before you installed that onto your computer.

I never installed anything i just ran through all the stuff the video showed. =/

virus?

[DeadZero0]

I don't think so, everything else is running ok. That's why I'm confused. But what did happen i shut my comp. off for about a night, the next day when i turned it on it would go to the screen and it said, an error occurred whatever and i could to chose to start comp in safe mode, or run windows normally or just go to the last working point. I chose ran normally and last working time and it kept taking me back to that screen. Finally I used my norton go back thing and after like 5 more tries my comp started working.

do you have vista?

[DeadZero0]

WindowsXP, I don't really thing Vista would really affect DP anyways.

Most of the stuff in that video is crap. >_> Feel free to undo it all, but it sounds like you just have really bad packet loss.

do a system restore to a date before you made the changes shown in the video -- use system restore instead of norton

You don't even have to do a system restore. Just undo everything you did in that video.

I did that now, but the game is still having this lag. My ping was 70-80.  So now what?

If the ONLY possible thing it could be are the steps that took place in that video, then you shouldn't do a system restore if you've undone them. When you're getting this lag, (assuming it's network lag) bring down the console and type 'netgraph 1'. If the white graph at the bottom of the screen stays low, then your packets are getting through. But, if there are a lot of spikes or large blocks, you're dropping packets. Could we get some information on your network/internet setup?

Hey, I got it fixed thanks for the help. It's running mainly smooth, except for like a random second of lag. The white bar at the bottem, was pretty low. I undid everything, and I have DSL the good one.
