MS/Ping spikes in every game i play.

Hello, i've been reading around the forums and i've noticed alot of people have this problem with Vista, well:

I'm a gamer, i play many games such as WoW, Most ijji games, Css, Aion etc..

Lately i've installed Windows Vista, and when i seem to play games, or anything else for that matter (ventrilo, skype, msn messenger), my ping seems to hit the roof every now and then, spiking.

I've tried pinging my router's IP and discovered every so often it DOES spike, so therefore it must be the connection between my PC and the router which is upstairs, and it's not the games, or my internet connection because it worked fine on XP. No one in my household is downloading torrents.

I've also tried Wireless Zero Shutdown, which has done nothing.

So what seems to be the problem? I really don't feel like re-installing XP either.

If you could please help, thanks alot.

One way to check is to ask the other players if they see spikes to.

I think WoW has an /out of character chat like Everquest does. That would be the method to use.

If no one else is seeing it, then its your ISP or something else.

Of course, folks in areas others than yours might not see it. So if you were, for example, in the west coast of the US and the folks who answer you don't live there, they may not see any spikes.

try vista anti lag , ive used it since i got vista , if your issue is lagging out every 60 seconds when vista searches for new networks this software will solve it
