There are sooo many variables that would cause this, and
you haven't made any specifications about your system, so
I don't think your going to get a good answer until you do so.
Secondly, you may want to divert this post to the technical
section of this BBS.

Like Ohio said, there are many, many variables involved in this.  It could be an Internet connection issue, could be some background process vieing for service, could be some background program playing a sound, and the list goes on.

Let's start here;  Send me a DXDIAG output from your system.  The sticky at the top of the forum has details on how to do this and we can go from there.

See the bottom of this post: http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71591

It details how to start, run, and send the output of DXDIAG.
