Hearts game runs too slow to play in windows 7, even on fast computers

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas: I love playing hearts in windows while I'm waiting on other things to finish.  Since installing windows 7, I find hearts so painfully slowly that I can enjoy is no longer.  My computer has 2 processors xeon to dual-core @ 3 Ghz and 8 GB RAM with NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 video card, so I don't think it is hardware related.  I have disabled everything I can in the menu options, including animations, but the game is simply too slow to enjoy.

Hello

If you want to use the XP version of games inside Windows 7, it is possible. There is a sticky in this forum which explains how this is done as well, have a look at http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistagaming/thread/21d09aca-8a95-4987-99b6-5270ab64444e.

Hope this helps

    Some games run very slow on Windows 8 as (chicken Invasion "v1, v2, v3" in red alert 2, Age of Empire 2)
    but on Windows 7 on the same Machine perform perfectly, I tried to install DirectX,.
    and tried to install the latest Version of the Driver VGA for Windows8 and tried to change VGA (Nvidia, AMD, Intel)
    but the games (not all games just a few) still running slow...? !!!
    Help, please...

    Wrong, wrong, wrong.

    This is entirely based on compatibility to a level beyond what is offered in the standard "Windows compatibility" section.  In addition to this, everything you said had absolutely nothing to do with the question.  This has nothing to do with starting or whatever it is in the same direction.

    What is happening is that something is interfering with the normal functioning of the game because of changes in the kernel of the operating system because it has been updated / rewritten since the inception of Windows XP.

    @SOVIETTION
    The most likely solution for you has nothing to do with the videobuffer here is how fix you it:

    Find the Red Alert installation directory and find the file * md.ini.
    In revenge for Red Alert 2/Yuri, it will be 'RA2MD. INI"(feel free to make a backup of the file before proceeding)
    Open it with your favorite text editor (Notepad for most people)
    Scroll down until you find the section [Video]
    Just below you will add this line-
    VideoBackBuffer = no
    Save the file in the same place and load the game.

    Enjoy!

    The VideoBackBuffer = none works perfectly, but in my case I also had to set the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2.

    Bravo for you!

  • Satellite L855-14R: games running very slow after installing Win 7

    Hi guys,.

    I have the L855-14R satellite, which came with windows pre-installed 8.

    I used win 8 during a time and games have been works ok.
    So I decided to install a copy of windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.

    I downloaded all the drivers from toshiba support and it seems to work fine until I started the same game I played before.

    He was running very very slow even on low graphics settings.

    No idea of what went wrong after the win 7 installation?

    Have Hmm you installed the driver of ATI graphics card?
    Maybe the game uses the Intel HD internal graphic that is part of the Intel Core i7-3630QM processor?

  • Games run too fast! (Faster than normal around 1.5 x)

    Hey I have problems playing games since the installation of W7.

    I tried only two games, which is Half Life: counter-strike 1.6 through Steam and Batman Arkham Asylum.
    From what I see, I shoot and walk faster in CS 1.6, when I play on my own. But when I join a server on Steam, I go fast, Yes, and then I will be stuck (I guess because the server will try to match my speed with others)
    In Batman: AA, I was comparing Youtube videos with my game and found that my Batman works faster than in the videos.

    (Although the speed improved to Batman, but running it on a carrot is terrible - did not work for CS)
    Turning on vsync seems to make it acceptable, but I'll be capped at 75 FPS.
    I need 100 fps on CS, because the response of the mouse is better.

    If anyone knows, I would like to know what is causing this = /

    It could well be your network drivers.  Even if you later, sometimes people writing the drivers need to improve for questions like yours that described and so you should keep a watch last updated driver.  On my laptop, for example, constantly Dell publishes new drivers for it that problems are discovered and updated correctly to handle Windows 7.  While it works great, they discover problems that may affect performance.

    Have you read anything in the counter-strike forums about anyone else having a similar problem?

  • HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow on the network!

    Hello

    My HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow on the network!

    I connect the printer to the windows XP 32 bits SP3 using UBS port. The printer works fine on the local computer, but when he shared on the network running too slow, for example with the print test page it takes about 45 seconds to print and other documents, it takes much longer.

    I installed the last form HP driver site and update the firmware it the latest version.

    It happens on other Windows XP machines as well.

    I have connected the printer to my laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) and it works very well (no delay on the network) and it seems that this problem have some relationship with the windows XP Driver.

    I used the trick of local port on computers remote (instead of the normal method) like this:

    "add a local printer.
    "new port".
    "localport".
    \\XPcomputer\HPPrinterName port name

    but still nothing!

    There is nothing wrong with the network, allows us to use a Samsung printer on the same machines on the network without problem.

    I really appreciate your HELP!

    It seems that no one on the planet has the answer to this question!

    The only available option is to upgrade your operating system to windows 7 (vista can work, I have no idea!).

    I brought a HP Envy 15 j133tx.

    Configuration:

    4702MQ i7 processor

    nVidia GT 750M 4 GB graphics card

    8 GB RAM

    When I play games for 10-15 minutes the sound becomes lag and the games start extremely slow operation.

    Even the games run slowly. I tried to update my BIOS but it did not help. Help, please!

    It may be the memory problems, overheating, or even areas of defective hard drive.
    With the high range, RAM and graphics card processors, performance is higher, but, if there are faulty memory cards or hard disk, it can affect.

    If you can, please do the test, I suggested.

    do not use ccleaner, third party - registry cleaners it could destroy havoc.

    Once you do the tests above, a test of complete hard drive & memory test BIOS

    Shortly after switching on the laptop, press F2 for ever the System Diagnostics, do the quick & compete with the tests of MEMORY & HARD DRIVE. Please post the results.

  • After getting my A200 Satellite games run slower

    I have a laptop Satellite A200 - 14 d with Vista (32) that came pre-installed. I had to format and use the product recovery DVD for vista reinstalled with all the drivers.

    The problem is: before formatting, according to me, there was another application installed for the video card, which now she either. Also games run slower. Until the format in the Device Manager to display adapters there were 2 things. The pilot who has reinstalled successfully and something else I don't remember what it was and who does not also install after the recovery of the product operation...

    Then. can someone tell me which software I can use to improve the performance of my 7300 GO game?...

    Hello

    > The problem is: before formatting, according to me, there was another application installed for the video card that now he not more
    Do you think that it was preinstalled or are you 100% sure?

    Believe me, the same operating system and the software that was preinstalled on your laptop is on the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    The software is the same.
    So if you want to define the notebook to factory setting you should use the recovery CD ;)

    Is that all the games work more slow on Vista. This OS feeds more resources than XP.
    So if you want to play games faster I advise to use XP
