Lag spikes since I installed Vista

[angry hampster]

This happens every minute or two when playing games. It's rather annoying.

System specs are below, running Vista Ultimate 32.direct link


I'm using an MSI PC60G PCI wireless adapter. I never got these spikes on XP Pro SP2.

I would suggest that its driver related, vista being a relatively new os still has some issues with some drivers. Have you checked with the manuf to see if there are newer ones available?

I've got MSI's latest drivers installed.

Find out what radio chip that card has in it, and see if you can find a reference driver from the chip manufacturer for vista for that chip.

Apparently its a known vista problem, I have never had this problem when i gamed on my laptop for a bit. Also, in your screen shot your getting 17 loss, you can have issues with like 4 loss, so that could be the problem.
