Still not getting vey far with improving my frame rate.

If anyone has any suggestions for background stuff I could close, which may improve the speed I would be MOST gratefull - Ta

I have to confess I would be very worried about that as every time I access multiplayer mode with ALL CARS, I get an attempted connection notification. To me (a non techie) it suggests an attempted hack.
How do I turn off "scanning" and would that run any risk ?

Any other ideas on the other lot

PS - thanks for the help so far

That did the trick (a bit) but I reckon it's all the junk I have running in the background, Only trouble is I don't know what to end
Here's all the stuff than running in the background - HELP

Will try those tips and advise

I posted this on the old forum yesterday but here it is on the new - so PLEASE HELP

OK guys, 1st. up I an NOT a techie nor do I undertand all this PC sfuff - but I do got a problem with frame fates and it's spoiling my fun. Here's my PC spec
P4 - 3 Gh with 1 gig of RAM
Card is Nivida GEFORCE FX5200
Frame rate goes down to about 13 /15 at the start or at any time when other racers are around me - best on lien is about 22 / 24
I run McAfee firewall and anti virus at all times, and seems to have a shed load of other things running in the background.
QUESTION - How do I get better frame rates (I can afford a new card at the moment if that is what it takes).
What "stuff in the background can I knock off?
If anyone wants to drop me an e mail please do so on the LFS World e mail system
