Lag When at particular places

When I'm driving or walking, I suddenly lag a lot, and 1 minute in the game normally takes 1 second in real life, but for me when I lag it takes about 5 seconds.

 

Now why does this happen? The only unusual thing I found was this:

Those things that are boxed in red are not suppose to be their. I'm guessing that some large models are being loaded for no reason.

How can I fix this?

 

YES MY GAME IS MODDED

 

 

Platform: Windows XP Home Edition SP3 (5.1, Build 2600)

RAM: 448MB DDR1 RAM (Shared with video card)

CPU: AMD Athlon XP +3200 2.2GHz, MMX, 3DNow

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX Integrated GPU 64MB

Sound: NVIDIA nForce Audio (Driver Version 6.14.0442.000) WHQL Certified

History: No, this is not my first install on this computer, and I have never had this problem before.

 

(Sorry, I don't know the version of my GTA:SA, but I know it can run CLEO.)

 

HERE is a detailed report of my computer specifications.

First get rid of the mods.

Play the game without any mods.

If it plays, you don't have a problem.

If it lags with the mods go to the Modding forums for help.

No help for problems with No-CD program either.

When I click "Run as..." it says vorbisFile.dll was not found, but its there, 100% sure.

Only these 2 are your problems. You don't have enough RAM first of all so all those useless programs occupy your system memory delaying the speed. Secondly, your graphics is totally blown out. 64MB shared memory is absolutely nothing to play SA. hence, it's an hardware problem and that's why there are lags and weird textures.

Really? I thought it was mods.

 

I know my computer doesn't meet the requirements, bit it always ran the game fairly well. My computer is from 2004, and is as old as the game. What sucks is that we payed $800 for it.
