weird freezing in windows 7 #223507 27/07/10 03:38 AM

nobusinesshere N	I recently bought a new laptop, an ASUS N61J. It has Windows 7 Home Premium on it. I've used irc for years but never encountered a problem like this. Basically, the text-bar lags, to an extent where I have to wait ten to twenty seconds before the text I'm typing appears in the bar. It happens the most when mirc is in the background, but also happens appears to happen I bring up a channel that hasn't been looked at in a while. The weird thing is, I can press enter, and whatever I've typed, whether it's shown up on the screen or not, will go through and show up in the chat. Any ideas? I have a hard time believing it's a matter of computing power, as I don't do very intensive things on my laptop, that it is more than capable of handling.
