When I get on MapleStory and i go on a channel, i lag. Everything is like in slow-mo kind of thing. its not smooth at all, like on a desktop, its like all scattering around. does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I think it's your computer. Your computer can't handle it.

If it's like everything in the background freezes, but you can still move normally, it's your internet connection. If it's like studdering and the frames being shown being choppy, then it's your laptop.

What you mean by slow-mo is a low framerate. Its your graphics card. The only thing you can do is update it and update DivX.

Do you mean Direct X? Anyway, without knowing the specs of your computer, we can't really say. Just press start > right click on my computer if you have XP, or computer if you have Vista > then click properties. We need the information next to these: Processor, Memory (RAM), and System type.

Hmm. This happened to me once, on my Asus g1 Series. It kind of depends on your laptops compatabilitys. AND your Internet connection. What you could try to do is restart your modem, or wireless connection and try and see if it works. Thats what I did, and it works perfectly fine now. And also, if you have alot of wireless things near by, that may also be the problem. :D

I had the same problem too...i thought it was my graphics card and everything...but in fact, my laptop was overheating. I just vacuumed all the dust and debris in and around the cooling fan, and problem solved.

your laptop prob cant handle it. but really? the desktop would be better, assuming prices were equal
