thanx in advance

You have your specs a little confused there, your processor is certainly not a core 2 duo AMD x64 athalon as they are two different processors from two differing manufacturers, download CPU-z and find out what one it is, also what Operating system are you runing XP or Vista? What programs are you running at the time?

 

Cheers, Saxon.

OK what program came with the game? are you refaring to the game it's self or something it asked you to install with the game. How did you get runescape did you but the disk from a shop or did you download if from a p2p file sharing network like Lime wire or bit torrent?

 

Can you also please post some screen shots of your task manager (you get this on screen by pressing ctrl - alt - delete at the same time).

Its the GPU - the GPU is one of the worst mobile ones available (as you are using a laptop) there is not much that you can do I am afraid.

Chances are that the GPU is not doing its job and the CPU is trying even harder

hi its a game you play online, you dont need to download anything but there is a programme called swiftswitch that you can download and it gives you extra's instead of having to open internet explorer pages all the time. this is a screen shot i took when i just started my computer up as you can see its on 100% and iam not even playing the game. i dont know how to put screen shots on the post sorry if you explain how then i will thanks

Chances are that game requires most of your cpu as your gpu can't seem to provide or balance enough power to run it smoothly, does it do this on all web based games?

Are those swiftkit.exes really needed? i used to play Runescape absolutly fine in ie 7?
