[T4CTICZ]

Well, when I got my laptop fresh and I had GTA, it was NO lag at all, good FPS everything, but recently (For like 3-4 months) It been lagging ALOT, my game freezes sometimes out of nowhere to, is their a way of fixing that?

Specs:

Install Memory(Ram): 1.00 GB (766MB Usable)
System Type: 32 bit Operating System

Try updating your graphics drivers to the latest ones.
If you're still lagging run CCleaner to remove unnecessary old internet files and so on.  Click here for CCleaner
If that doesn't solve it, try defragmenting your hard drive.   Click here for Defraggler

Well you need to figure out what graphics card you have and go from there.  :redface:

To simplify it, remo is saying you should remove temporary files as they are unnecessary.

Next to run CCleaner which removes temporary internet files and other files that are basically "junk".

Then he's saying you must increase your virtual memory by setting more hard drive space to be used as a sort of RAM - Random Access Memory
So basically to set more "virtual ram" as in when your system is under a bit of load, it will use some of the spare hard drive space as ram to speed up performance.
The default value is usually rather low, but you can increase it manually.

Here's a rather helpful guide:
