When you are using bittorrent and kazaa, you are probabling downloading something. It will use resources from your cpu, hard disk and memory. It all depends on how much memory do you have, how many download do you have at the same time and what's the game you are playing. There's difference between Far cry and poker games. You can always try to pause or close your bittorrent/kazaa. You can always turn off bittorrent or kazaa if you right click on their logo at the bottom right of your screen and click on close.

Winzip is a compress utility. It compressed files and put it into a .zip file. It can also uncompress/extract from a compressed files. If you've downloaded a .zip file, than winzip can come handy.

Use 7-zip if you don't want to pay for winzip. 7-zip is free.

or winrar, however, they try and persuade you to "register", but you don't need to. WINRAR IS THE BEST! opens .zip .rar .izh .iso .jar , and like 20 more!
