alright, so I finally got PC left4dead for my laptop.
the "recommended" settings have pretty much everything at high, with antialiasing at 2X.

so when I run the game, it's seems perfectly smooth, good graphics and everything, but every few minutes (It's completely random) either:

A. the sound skips for a few seconds
B. both the sound skips and the screen freezes, for about 5 seconds

You'd think that maybe because having a horde would be too much for my laptop or something, but it's just random. Actually the 3 times this happened while in NM map 1, there was no horde or zombies on screen at all...

Help??

If the above suggestions do not work, then take a look at other background programs running. It's possible you have some program (malicious or legit) that periodically hammers your system.

I don't have vista, but I'll turn that off and see/check back here.
