When game closes desktop lags.

I looked around here and did not find what I needed. So sorry in advance if this problem has all ready been covered in some other post.

Every thing runs fine in game. But when I close the game things on my desktop are laggy. For example my web browser when it opens instead is popping up all at once it comes from the top down. Also just moving anything on my screen makes the windows somewhat cut in half. It is almost like the game is not clearing out of my video cards RAM when ending. So far the only way for me to fix this is to restart my PC. Is this happening to more people or just me? My PC makes all the minimum specs. But if you need real numbers here they are it’s not much.

RAM: 2 GIG
CPU: AMD 64bit 2.25 GHz
Video card: ATI X800 Pro 256 MB
OS: XP Pro

I'm seeing the same thing. Played a small map with no performance issues with:

3Ghz P4
1gig ram
ATI 9600 PRO 256mb
XP pro

I am happy I can play with the minimum suggested video card!

Well I’m happy to know it’s just not me. I’m willing to put my money on that when you close the game it’s not clearing the ram on the video card. I think there is a way to clear it with out having to restart but you got a use the command prompt. Or I could be wrong never know could just be the hamsters in my PC don’t run fast enough after the game closes. :HOT:

thanks for the feedback guys.
