How many other programs are running while the game is running and are you on line while playing?

As I have already said many times in the past I regularly run the game, Paint shop Pro, A text Editing program and MOBHack all at the same time while getting patches ready and my computer is an 11 year old Dell with a 800 Mhz Pentium III which means it's a senior citizen with a walker compared to most machines today ( that said I recently picked up a rootkit that caused a nasty crash and for a few days thought I'd lost everything but that was not the case and after I had a new HD installed along with a fresh install of XP it's running better than ever now with my old HD as D: )

That said, if I've been running for hours and doing a lot of things I *occasionally* see oddities like this in the game AND other programs as well.

That said the inital report of " Suddenly my game has started freezing "indicates first that it was running fine before which means something new has been introduced to change that so what changed ?
