Hey guys,
I'm a long-time lurker, but I believe this is my first post... I have a problem that I can't solve myself, so I figured I'd open it up to the community and see if any of you are generous enough (and knowledgeable enough) to help me. I decided to scavenge the "template" from mechBgon, so maybe a little more order will help. Thanks again!

- Overview of the problem
Overall computer performance, particularly fps in games, has recently dropped significantly after a move
- Full description of the problem and symptoms
Three days ago I moved back to the United States after living in Ireland temporarily, and upon moving into my new residence (a residence hall at a university) they made me install Cisco's Clean Access Agent to access their internet network. After this, my fps in certain games has dropped significantly, as much as 40 in WoW to 15 (even after reducing the resolution and terrain distance and etc), and even Penny Arcade's new game is running far slower than it was before the move. While my internet speeds are much faster now since I don't have a trans-atlantic connection, my overall system performance is shot. I am even more confused, as when I checked task manager it says that my system's resources are fairly free, but my system lag begs to differ.
- I already tried these steps:
I have tried disabling CCAA, but I am unable to access the internet without it... so regardless, it seems I MUST run it unless someone here knows a way around the system if this is the root of the problem.
- My software:
- Operating System: Vista
- Antivirus: AVG Free
- Firewall: None
- My hardware
- Dell Inspiron e1505, 2 gig ram, radeon x1400 mobility
Anyways, any help with the matter would be greatly appreciated. If there is any other information I can give or SHOULD give to resolve this matter, please let me know.
Thanks!
PS I don't really know html very well (as I said, I scavenged the template) so I apologize for the really weird stuff that's happening at the end. My apologies!
