When i move my mouse = lag, when i don't = running smoothly?

i play flash games in Facebook.

and every-time i move my mouse the game freezes.

like when i move the mouse/pointer so fast without stopping it freezes, when i stop moving it, it runs smoothly.

I've tried reinstalling my graphic card.

reboot like million times.

I'm sure the problem is not on my mouse driver.

these are the following flash games:

Hotel City.

Restaurant City.

Island Paradise.

etc.

My Specs.

Browser : Mozilla Firefox

Windows XP SP3

1GB of RAM

512mb 128-bit ATI RADEON HD 4650

Dual Core.

Update:

why should i increase my RAM? It's just a flashgame. >.>

my internet connection is 3mbps.

Update 2:

I have ESET nod32 Anti Virus.

I can play online games like crossfire without lag.

    The best way is to download Ccleaner here http://bitly.com/UrALrK

    Or you can go on Windows operating system locate the command prompt and go there to do the following:

    Create a Recovery file of system and date it today.

    Then begin by;

    delete the 'Temp' folders..they have hidden subfolders so you need to set the attributes in order to bypass this. For each subfolder delete all cookies and rubbish left behnd after install-uninstalled programs. Do a 'dir' command to check your progress. Make sure the 'Temp' file is empty.

    goto c:\windows\prefetch and delete everything in there..no exceptions

    goto c:\windows folder and delete all the '$' files that have been installed by updates. They can all be succesfully deleted and just take up disk space.

    Locate the Internet Temporary Files..Check to see how high the saving level is..some have it set at 30 days..but that stores faaaar tooo much data..though it slows down the system overal. Keep this to a minimum..suggest 2 or 5 at most.

    Delete all 'cookies' all those you don't need.

    Locate the windows directory and go through the folders you know and those you don't need. Check this once a week at least. Some programs will install under XP as NT and older systems where there is no check of systems weight.

    Check to see that system files have not changed since last booting. Things like .ini files or .bat are important items.

    Check for 'Hidden Directories' all over the disk...do this at the command prompt:

    dir *.* /ah wil show these hidden directories

    Check the 'dir' command for all parameters

    2 possibilites.

    A - your computer is pretty much crawling with Malware, and this is causeing some severe lag working with the game.

    B - you've got hardware failure, and your computer is dying.

    Its almost certainly A. Take it to your local store, or someone who knows what theyre doing (And I mean really knows what they are doing, not some of your mates who says he can fix your computer)

    and get them to sort it.

    The reason I say get it to someone who really knows what they are doing is because just running an Anti-Virus scan won't fix the problem. In fact it probably wont find anything at all. You need specialist software, thats hard for standard users to get, nevermind use.

    You can download play CrossFire for free here: http://j.mp/Y2Rxzb

    no surveys, no scams, just the full game!

    Anyone familiar with first-person shooters will immediately be able to jump right in and start kicking butt and taking names.

    It's amazing.
