WB5.5 Lags the Game Counter-Strike Source

from Stardock Forums
I've have to turn off Windows Blinds before playing Counter Strike Source otherwise the game is not playable due to the lag. By lag I mean that I experience a half a second pause in game flow about every second throughout the game. At first I suspected it might be the Winderz pagefile or fragmentation but I have eliminated both. (Turned off pagefile and defragged)

Any ideas?

Windows XP Pro
Athlon 64 3800+ (not x2)

Have you tried adding the game to the WindowBlinds exclusion list so that it is not skinned?

You can access this by going to the Settings tab in the WB configuration, the going to Change the look of an app, then click Add per application setting and browse for your CS executable.

In the past few months, I've played Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Day Of Defeat: Source, Team Fortress 2 and last night even Portal without any problems while running the latest WB6 beta.

Pasting the info from the System Info tab on WB might also help.

Good luck.
