what's ym?
Check your browser settings...  :-\
try using wireshark or some other network monitoring program to see where the ping is coming from and when.

....Regular questions..... What programs are you using at the same time, etc.?

Its conundrum  >:( :-\ basic typo dude

Yh anyways , i have more common sense not to be running any programs in the background , all i use in the background is foobarr2000 , which is a low spec music player thats designed not to take up much memory ......... so that would not cause it

I just wasn't sure if you meant ym for yahoo messenger, or what...... I wasn't trying to be rude as you usually think I am. Okay, now I'm being rude.... Just kidding :P

And I figured you had that much common sense, but it never hurts to ask.
Any services running that don't need to be? check msconfig.
So what game is it? Are there any patches for the game?

And I wasn't kidding about checking your browser settings (Internet Explorer). You'd be surprised by how it's settings can screw with everything else on windows. (Maybe not surprised) Just check to make sure it's all in order.

    Do you feel a "laziness" of your computer when you browse on internet? Maybe you got a spyware or virus. I check this kind of problems using a Live CD: a cd with Linux, you boot from cd and voila! You have an alternative operating system not affected by a virus/spyware, and you don't change anything at all on your computer. When you boot "normally", from harddisk, you have your good old Windows - I don't think you play games from Linux.
    Also, it depends on your network performances. How good is ping response from your computer to your gateway?
    Where did you "pinged", to what destination? In your local area network? It is a very very bad result if you receive a response after 500 milliseconds from a computer in your lan. To another computer/server on internet, not on your lan? Than it is a so-so response, but yes, you won't be able to play anything but board/card games with that latency...

    you got another computer you can load the game onto? It could be a fault with the game. If it plays fine on another pc, then it's your pc that's the problem. Maybe from there we can make sense of it.

    Maybe someone gave you a rootkit that causes your nic to ping the active connections until the server thinks you are trying to perform a ddos attack on it and terminate your connection. :P

    Have you tried out wireshark yet?

      You can't change the ping time as it is the time it takes for traffic to travel between your computer and the server. Increasing your computers speed will not have any effect - one flakey router between you and destination the ping can go sky high. Moving a thousand miles closer would probably help.

      Wait, is it the ping time that you're concerned about or the amount of pings?
      I thought we were talking about too many.

        Run tracert from the command prompt. It will show each hop in the route and the response times. You should be able to spot the slow one.
