Help please, my computer is acting funny

Game.exe(the file that represents Diablo, Starcraft, or Warcraft) has the highest useage when I'm in a game and the lagging occurs. However, if I'm in the channel, the useage goes down to about 5k or so, yet I still have the lag spikes occuring while in the channel.

OK.

Does a look at Task Manager or Process Explorer help pinpoint any other process(es) that may be adding to lag?

both MSN Messenger and AIM take 20k+(aim 20 or so, msn 30 or so)
those are really the only ones that take up large amounts of space.

However, I have played without either of those running and still encountered lag spikes.

**EDIT** Cleaning it with a can of compressed air worked. Thanks guys. **/EDIT**
