Flight Simulator 3 and other games running slowly in Windows 7.

Original title: Sims 3 (and other games works incorrectly) suddenly running slow.

I'll try to make this as brief as possible while providing for.

When I got to Windows 7, the sims 3 worked perfectly. all the graphics on the top and so on. I can't quite identify when exactly it started running slowly and I mean slow! The game, itself, does not take long to load - it never did and it's practically the only thing that has not changed. But when I go in the game (from simply create a SIM to play), that he is lagging badly. To say things to the point, the whole game is rather fluid animation as a slide show of photos.

I uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem persists. I've also updated my nVidia graphics card it is newer, but it did not much difference in any of the games. Sidenote: I installed the sims 2 and well there a little laggy every now and then (he's since widows xp; sure enough it's normal) it preforms perfectly. I just can't understand why the sims 3 has suddenly decided to run horribly.

In other games, such as smaller little such as Turbo Subs, are also slow, but not to the point where I can't even play. In fact, if I play long enough gal disappears and it works normally. But I think that it may just be an incompatibility problem because part of the mine, Burger Shop 2, works very well, even better than when I got Vista. Looking for confirmation here.

Is it possible to fix it as it used to be, or at the very least, simply reduce the amount of lag?

You can try to download and install the latest DirectX9 updates CFS3 and still need to other games.

Then try to defragment your hard drive. Personally, I like this utility.

If the problem persists, then open the Task Manager and check if there are all the running processes that take a lot of CPU resources.

    2. open the control panel.
    3. double click on the link of game controllers.
    4. search and unique click on your joystick in the list of controllers. If your game controller is not listed, make sure that it is properly fixed and functional.
    5. with your gamepad highlighted, click on the properties button under the list of controllers.
    6. in the new pop-up window, click the button on the settings tab.
    7. follow all the instructions in the wizard that appears and click Finish when done.

  • Executable for freecell has stopped working... and other games too.

    Executable for freecell has stopped working... and other games too.  I tried to uninstall and re-install of the windows features option, but it did not help.  Anyone got any ideas how to fix?  Have no idea what caused the problem that I play them often.  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    Thank you all.

    Your profile problem would be assigned to a corrupted profile - if you look in the file C:\Users\, you should always have on your documents.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    Between that and the problem with the games, it would be a good idea to perform a scan of the hard disk, just in case where it fails.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

    Note that even though the disk check said it corrects a problem, I recommend to backup your data.

    You can also try a system restore to before the problem began:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

    It can solve the problem of profile as well, assuming that the hard drive is fine but if not follow the steps above.
