    Hi


    Moved post from old thread,


    What is your Windows version and is it fully upto date?

    Have you got the latest version of WOW?

    Have you updated your GFX Card Drivers?

    Is it the WOW game file thats using 95-100% CPU or some other file, if so what and you can hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and in Processes tab will highlight the files using most CPU?

    If you disable your AntiVirus application does the game work ok?

    What are your PC specs

    CPU
    RAM
    HDD
    Graphics Card

    Hi

    WOW on some PCs will use alot of CPU % so 75% and above is quite normal,if nothing else is triggering it to be excessive, which is why I mentioned disable you AV to test.

    Also the lag issue is more likely your ISP and what speed you pay for so whats your Internet package speed? (could try disabling your firewall if not the built in Windows one to test that its not causing excessive lag)
