First off, my pc should run most games that i play. Windows vista,Intel Core Duo 2.67 ghz, 4 gb ram, ati radeon 1900, 400 gb hdd. The problem that i have is while playing games (mostly first person shooters), when i move the mouse to turn my charcter, he stops and then starts again. I'm kinda new to pc games, so sorry in advance. So if im running away and want to make a left turn, the characterturns left, stops, and then takes off again. As you know, in shooters, that usually ends in dying. This happens on all of my games. The Orange Box, Oblivion, Battlefield 2 and 2142, Doom 3, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My pc should run all of the gameson highest settings perfectly. Ive even tried lowering the settings and it still doesnt help.

It can't be lag because it's happening in singleplayer games too.

I don't turn anymore. I strafe. Once you learn how to use strafe and the mouse in combination it is much faster and more agile. This all may have nothing to do with your problem. Your problem may have to do with you tweakingyour settingsand screwing it up.
