Halo 2 on Vista Home Basic, lag problem, ati raedon hd 4650

k, im having some problems with halo 2 for vista. I bought the game off of ebay, less than a week ago. the installation went well, that I chose to wait until after that she installed to play halo 2. but as soon as I started the game, I noticed a slight jolt every second or two. When I actually played the game it was worse. It was not the normal kind of LAG that slows just your framerate altogether, it was as if I was getting excellent and left images falling for about 1 second and then got great fps again for 2 sec then droppped to 1. It was very difficult to actually shoot and kill the enemies, I still managed to get 5 achievements far however.

My my pc specs are:

ATI raedon HD 4650 (TOTALLY should be able to handle Halo 2, no problem)

8 GB of ram (no problem either)

4x2.4 gHz AMD phenom 9750. (no problem at all! unless the clock speed is a little slow, nuclei form for this)

my pc however, gets a total score of 5.1, with the highest tier in cpu with 5.9.

Please, please tell me how I can solve this problem, I left EVERYTHING until I opened the game (in the task monitor, took off from all processes that were losing cpu) I reinstalled the drivers, I installed x 9 direct because I heard 10 was bugged, ive done everything I can I know. so please let me know what I can do to solve this problem. it sucks to waste money on a good computer and a good game, when none of them is working properly!

p.s

I note also that no matter how high or low, I put the resoultion or graphics settings, it continues to lag, the game itself is not late I just think for some reason has a vista problem it works correctly.

Hello, have you tried the patch by renegade?

He made one of only a few patches, I know. It fixes the problems of major shift with Halo 2. You should try it.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

    I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

  • Problems upgrading from Vista Home Basic to Vista Ultimate.

    I have a Dell pc came with Vista Home Basic (currently the SP2). I bought (the store) DVD Vista Ultimate Upgrade (SP1). I tried to do an UPGRADE, I prefer NOT to do a fresh install, and he says the upgrade (part) has been disabled and I need to upgrade to a version of Windows that is more recent than the version that I am running. I thought that Vista Ultimate IS an UPGRADE to Vista Home Basic? Both are 32-bit. Any thoughts? (FYI... I don't want to upgrade to Windows 7 at the moment).

    Hello

    Your problem is with the Service Pack level; not the version of Vista.

    The installed operating system has SP2 installed, but the upgrade disc does that SP1 is installed.

    That's why you get this message because SP2 is a newer version than SP1.

    Uninstall SP2 > do the upgrade for Ultimate > reinstall SP2

  • Problems to install a downloaded version of Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 on my mac through VMWARE FUSION

    Hi all

    I hope you can help as I'm going crazy! It's my first MAC if im a complete noob.

    Me being lazy has decided to download Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 from https://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/DesktopDefault.aspx/tabid-2/ site

    It contains 3 files which I had to download separately:

    Vista_HomeBasic_SP1_32bit_English_Download_Part1_66G - 02017.exe

    Boot.wim

    install.wim

    Once I had downloaded these. I pulled the top of VMWARE AU12EME 2 but could not detect anything. If I then wacked out on a memory stick and ran the .exe on my windows pc. This integrated then all the files I downloaded a good big folder of Vista.

    So once again I pulled up to VMWARE fusion 2.0 but still nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I heard people talking that I need an ISO file? But I searched all files that I downloaded and installed, and there is nothing similar. The only thing I can think is that I need to burn the VISTA folder I extracted from my pc to DVD and try running disk on my Mac. But that would make a difference that I tried to run from my DESKTOP MAC key and memory? In addition, there is no ISO files.

    Please HELP I'm worried that I just lost my money!

    I did a little research, and it was one of the best hits on How to make Vista DVD bootable with WIM downloaded files that I think sums up your situation.

    Because I had the file oscdimg.exe since Install Kit automated (Windows AIK) I gave it a try and it worked.  In other words, by using the folder of Vista and its content that has been created by you run the files you downloaded you should be able to create a Bootable ISO Image, which you can then use to create a DVD, if you have the right software to burn an ISO Image on DVD.  (Maybe you could do this on the Mac) Although if you want to you have even burn the ISO Image to DVD just copy it on the Mac and assign it to the CD/DVD in the settings of Virtual Machines.

    Other documents you may find useful: Microsoft TechNet > TechNet Library > Windows > Windows Vista > Windows Vista technical library Roadmap > Windows Vista: deployment > Kit to install Windows Automated (Windows AIK) > Deployment Tools Technical Reference > Command - line Tools Technical Reference > Oscdimg command-line Options

    Just to let you know that it took me about 20 minutes to do a search on Google and create the ISO Image and the test that I could start a VM in the Fusion and if you need to download and install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) to get the oscdimg.exe file it obviously will take you a little longer, but it is doable and the solution vs safer trying to get the file oscdimg.exe or cdimage.exe from a link sent illegally into the file.

    In any case the information presented here can solve your problem of creating a Bootable Image DVD/ISO.

  • Impossible to Vista Home Basic to Vista Home Premium. Don't want to do a clean install. How to get around this problem?

    just bought an upgrade to Vista Home Premium with service pack 1.  I'm upgrading to Vista Home Basic.  The program tells me that the upgrade has been disabled and he wants to do me a clean install.  I really don't want to do a clean install.

    If your installed Vista Home Basic has recently installed Service Pack 2 > uninstall Vista Service Pack 2 for him >

    Do your upgrade to Home Premium Service Pack 1 > then redownload/reinstall Vista Service Pack 2 again.

    And make sure your Vista installed and the upgrade of Vista are the versions both either 32-bit or 64-bit, depending on what is your Vista Basic.

  • How to change the Vista Vista Home Basic to Home Premium

    Hi he joined the forum, so Hello to everyone.

    Could someone tell me please in the right direction with my problem.
    I tried of me sorting, but I do not understand what to do.

    I've had my Toshiba laptop pre-installed with Vista Home Basic now for six months, everything was fine, so I decided to move to Home Premium.
    I've updated without problem and everything was fine until I had problem with the laptop and had to reformat.

    And here is my problem, being a bit naïve and stupid I have no record or instructions to get my upgrade back.

    I tried to find a solution but don't know what to do.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Shaun

    Hello

    How is that you updated your system? With a DVD update, or something similar? Or maybe online?
    Would be useful to know, because if it s not clear how you´ve updated your system at Home Premium person could probably help you.

    Would appreciate your comments. :)

  • Vista Home Basic - update SP2 fails error 0xc0190005 code

    I have and Acer Aspire 5315 with Vista Home Basic installed.

    Today I downloaded and started to install SP2 and all seemed well until reboot, where I am treated to a black screen showing what I presume to be names of files or registry entries because they are updated. The line begins by xxxx/64281 and a dewcription who follows between parentheses.

    This process never ends because it showing:
    "!! 0xc0190005! 22412/64281 (\Registry\machine\schema\ wcm://Microsoft...) »
    The end of this line appears truncated for me so I do not know which file or registry entry that is a failure on.

    I tried to repair using startup options and he didn't offer not a choice of restore points, just tells me it is either restore to a previous state (which stops working after about 5 minutes and then he's here doing nothing for so long let him - more than an hour!) or disk errors fixing which translates to reset and the same error once again product.

    Safe mode does not start and restore the last good known eventually brings us to square one.

    Is there someone who can translate this cryptic error code and point me in the right direction?
    Please Don ' t just point me to an article and if you copy and paste a response, at least be so kind enough to make it readable.

    Vista SP2 offered to your computer through Windows Update or you try to install manually?

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you tried to install SP2?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  • Given upgrade Vista Home Basic to Home Premium 7

    Hello world! had a doubt: I plan to upgrade my Vista Home Basic to Home Premium 7, but I don't know if my computer will work as smooth as Vista. My system has achieved:

    • 2 GB OF RAM
    • NVidia GeForce 9500 GT (it will work very well. I think)
    • 250 GB HARD drive (well, it's like 230 GB)
    • Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.8 GHz per CPU
    • Everything except Office 2010 (Beta) and games very sophisticated (not Internet because I don't want to get viruses)

    My big problem is the games. I like to play great games like Assassin's Creed and Crysis, which move more great on Vista. I don't know if they will work as good as sound in Windows 7. Also, I would like to know the reqs. recommended for this system. Please answer!

    Have revived an old PC that has one or more there has been subscribed HARD drive, put another disc in recently formatted and reinstalled Vista Home Basic, but probably not with the same disc that came with this particular machine (I have 6 home desktops and laptops), but certainly the number plate which is fixed on the side of this particular case (office emachine computer) is legitimate and came with this machine brand.

    Windows tells me this license is already in use and will not accept the activation code indicated in the certificate on the side of the machine.
