Average running game to fast!

OK, I am trying to install an old game on my new pc. Beyond good & evil and installation everything worked fine, but when I run the game it works many times faster than it should, but the audio is running at the correct speed. Not that it is possible even end a dialogue for a scene ends often in just one or two seconds, but I found this was a problem on XP and tried to http://support.microsoft.com/?id=896256this difficulty. Unfortunately it does not work and says that I don't have enough memory (I have 12 GB so I doubt that left on my hard drive) and if I run it in compatibility mode no matter what version I run it (for example XP sp3) it says "xp must be at least service pack 2 or higher" or something like that.

I have Windows 7 with a dual-core processor.

Hi TheLewis,

You are having the same experience by playing the games or is it limited to this game here?
Game in which you try to read?
You get the same result by playing a normal video and movies on your computer?
 
The article you mentioned is not applicable to Windows 7.

I recommend you check the settings in the control panel in the game.
 
You can find more information on compatibility modes in the articles below:

  • Why the fan on my macbook pro continue to run at a fast pace for long periods?

    The MacBook Pro mid-2010

    OS X El Capitan, 10.11.3 version

    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 duo

    Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 320 M 256 MB

    163 GB available

    iWorks ' 09 has been upgraded to the latest versions

    No new upgrade is available for the system.

    My Question: Why the fan on my macbook pro continues to run at a fast pace for long periods?

    I guess that the fan runs constantly, because the CPU is working at a high rate. I rebooted several times but without any resolution systems. At the bottom of the computer is very hot at times so place the laptop on an object that allows good air circulation. This problem occurs intermittently every few weeks or more. I wonder if it is downloading an important upgrade, do a scan of viruses, or by working as a bot. Lights for hours. Currently, I estimate that it has worked rapidly to possible 6 hours. Thank you.

    It will usually be to dissipate internal heat from running resource intensive applications.

    Download and install a temperature/speed control application.

    Open the activity monitor all THE PROCESSES and CPU to display values between high and low.

    When the fan speeds up, post pictures of both for review.

    Also run Apple Hardware Test:

  • Bootcamp is reliable to run games?

    Ive wanted to play games on my Mac which is only 3-4 days. I have looked at Bootcamp and knowing the minimum information about it, is reliable to run games and will it hurt my Mac in the long term? Also can I go back and forth between my Mac and Windows software? And far away/information appreciated, thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support communities

    Boot Camp lets you install Windows on a second partition alongside OS X, so when you use Windows your Mac behaves like any other PC. This allows to use all the material of your Mac, so it's the right thing to choose if you want to play Windows games.

    However, from what you say, you have a MacBook Air. The Mac's only got integrated graphics, so don't expect do not a great performance. Also, I do not recommend you to play for a long time; your Mac fans should start working more hard, but heat can affect the health of your MacBook in the future, so be careful. Finally, games makes good battery drain quickly, so I suggest you have your MacBook plugged into the AC adapter while you're playing.

  • DVD player runs much too fast on satellite

    I have a problem with my disc DVD turns drive way too fast for me. I have Windows XP on my Toshiba Equium laptop.
    I've not found no way to set the CD / DVD speed spin.
    I don't know if there are none, but I've used this feature in another computer, and I'd really love to reduce speed.

    The problem with the speed is not a malfunction.
    I do not face the problem with Swedish, but the reader is also effective with CDs, its literally too powerful.
    The speed and the noise are crazy. If I touch the computer or table where computer represents, the shaking did hurt my hands.
    It's like a saw motor and also sounds a little strong.
    I do not have the game I play while the CD is running.

    I wonder the rugged my computer, while it has not broken up.

    Hello

    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but Toshiba has designed the small tool for such purposes. It is quiet acoustics. When you watch a DVD Movie or when you listen to music CDs, you can switch to silent mode and you will not hear the DVD player works.

    Visit the Toshiba support page and check if this tool is also available for your laptop model.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L650-16w - cannot run game using the old GPU driver

    first of all I had to say that my English is not very good, so if there is a German support it would be easier for me to write with German support.

    2 weeks ago, I bought a new toshiba Satellite L650-16w.
    After installing my favorite game, I'm trying to start this game, but I can't because of this error message: "3DGM gm_OpenGLError, param err error:"not enough memory"", last error win32 #8 "»

    After that, I tried the latest driver and installed the driver version 8.723.2 on the home page of toshiba, the amd driver does not work, but the error is still there.
    I tried many things but I wasn't able to run this game on my computer.
    I'm sure it's a problem with the driver because when I uninstalled the drivers launched the game! (there was only the installed windows vga drivers).
    Unfortunately, I had a low fps rate of relay with windows drivers, so I was unable to play this game without the pilots.

    I hope someone can help me to launch this game and there is no solution to run this game on my pc.

    My oem is windows 7 64 bit, and Yes this game still works on win 7 64 bit because I got to play this game on an another win 7 64 bit system.

    Hello

    Usually, you should always use Toshiba driver because drivers are supported for GPU overheating protection.
    If you want to use other drivers, then you can do this at your own risk.

    I googled a bit and found two pages that provide updated ATI drivers the:
    www.OmegaDrivers.net/
    www.laptopvideo2go.com/

    Perhaps one of the pilots of the mentioned pages would you play this game for sure.

  • Cannot run game Bioshock on Satellite X 200 because of the graphics driver

    I just bought a 200 X and I can't update / install the drivers for the graphics card on the toshiba site! While installing it gives a message saying that a BONE bundles is installed.
    The computer is just out of the box and the only game I have installed is bioshock (which does not run in DX10 mode!

    any ideas?

    Hello

    JEPP, I have an idea. Check out these sites:

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    http://www.OmegaDrivers.NET/

    and download the latest drivers for your machine from there. These drivers are native ATI/NVIDIA drivers, but the *.inf files have been modified to operate on mobile systems. Just give them a try and you will be able to play your games.

    PS: I really like bioshock and I understand you absolutely :)

  • Y560 - problems when running games

    Hello world

    I bought the Y560 about a year and half ago and I was a proud owner since.

    A few days ago I formatted drives, then reinstalled Windows and since I have problems executing Battlefield 3.

    The problem is this: after a few minutes of play, the screen freezes and I can't hear a sound of "grrrrrrrrrrr" on the speakers. I can not give any command keyboard and can only force - turn off the laptop.

    I had no problems to run the game before you reinstall Windows, so I guess that the problem lies in a driver conflict, but how do I know which drivers are the cause?

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you very much

    Vyksa

    Problem solved! It turned out that the problem was with the game.

    Thanks to you all.

  • AMD Radeon Stopine mmo running games!

    So, here the problem, I do not know if you are familiar with games mmorpg like swordsman or blade and soul, but I installed both and none of them work with the video card dedicated.

    I have i7 pavilion g6 2240 sq, with 4000 graphics card and intel and Amd Radeon 7670 M 8.1 on windows, but if I change games in switchable graphics on "energy saving" games are running but slowly ofcourse. 15 (10 FPS)

    I have been in charge of research on the internet and concluded that some laptops in the mine 'fixed or dynamic mode' bios, does not have this option in bios, and I can't find any update BIOS, tried your site too.

    So the question, how do these mmo games with the AMD Radeon for better FPS graphics put fixed mode, or how these games if I change switchable graphics from AMD. (this is currently, games does not work, just loading at infinity)

    Sorry for my bad English.

    Yet once, my mother did a great job when she borned me xD )

    Found a driver AMD on * amd official site * better than yours from this site. series 7600 M AMD Radeaon called and I hitted update driver from Device Manager and * boom * update 04/07/2014, compared to recommended that yours which is updated around * December 2013.

    So now everything works very well, and I thought that if I share this, maybe others will be required.
