Answer: Thank you Amrita M! -Use abnormal CPU in Win...

Has anyone here ever played a platform game style great Metroidvania for Windows called "La Mulana"? It is a freeware game and one of my personal favorites. The only problem is that I can really play on Windows 7. It was really slow and that Google has no increase of any evidence of someone else having the same problem. So I opened the Task Manager and he used between 87 and 95% of my CPU. The system of the Mulana requirements are very weak (166 Mhz and X 7 live) so I really wouldn't have a problem here. Play the game or anyone have a hypothesis as to what could cause such a weird situation? I run Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium on a laptop Acer of CULV with a Pentium clocked at 1.3 Ghz and GMA 4500 Intel graphics card.

Hello

The game you play is an old game and might not be compatible with the 64 bit version of Windows 7. There is no information about compatibility with Windows 7, in the Compatibility Center

Method 1:

As a work around you can try to install the game in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

Follow the link for more information.

Method 2:

Also try to reduce the resolution of the screen and then try to install the game and check what is happening. To change the screen resolution follow the link below.

Hope this information is useful.
