Test Drive Unlimited Is Lagging even when offline

First a question. Are you running VISTA?
if so, thats the problem and you will need to contact Microsoft tech support.
If not go here:

Since I have no idea on what all you have done, I have some questions / suggestions.
1st: Have you Defragmented your computer? If not this month, please do so ASAP.
2nd: How much free space is left on your hard drive? You need over 15% free space.
3rd: Have you cleaned out you cookies, temp Files & Temp. Internet Files?
4th: Every item you add or install anything on your computer, it starts running each time you boot up.
This eats up your limited power and processor.To see this you will need to use the CRTL/ALT/DELETE keys to open up
your TASK MANAGER
On the right side you will see a TAB called START UP. Each item that is checked or ********** is running in the
background.
You do not need this stuff running. Its a gift of Microsoft to make it start faster for you and is no longer a needed
item since you have so much power.
Uncheck most if not all items, like MSN or YAHOO chat, Games and anything not directly related to the computer
operation.
