New games running slower now...

My son and I are players. With Win 7, it seems that games are now running slower. I feel that I have to set up Win 7 more 'performance' than for 'the look '... Also, how can I maximize my game speed on the game servers online?... to reduce the number of 'process' and the progs running in the background when we're trying to 'game' online? How do I do that in Win7? It was easier under Win XP...

This is my system:
ASUS P5B - D MB
Intel cpu E8400 @ 3.6 ghz
nVidia GTX 280 video card
Map its SB XFi
Intel X 25 - G2 SSD 160gig
G Skill 4 gig / memory

    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

    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.

  • Satellite L550: Civilization 3 game run slow after upgrade to Win 7

    My laptop came with Vista pre-installed, and I ordered the "free" Windows 7 upgrade.

    I play a game called civilization 3, which I installed with Vista and it worked fine.
    Now I have upgraded Vista to Windows 7 and the game still works fine, but the graphics have slowed down considerably.

    My system has the ATI mobility Radeon HD 4650 videocard and I already checked if there was a new driver.

    Can anyone helpme here?

    Thanx.

    Hello

    As far as I know, you can find the latest graphics card driver on the European driver Toshiba page. It s the most recent which is available for this model of laptop and the graphics card.

    But to be honest, the 3 civilizations is not a powerful game that would need a strong graphics card and so I doubt that this could be a graphics card problem.

    What version of Windows 7 you are using? Is it a 64 bit version?
    Maybe civilization 3 is not fully tested and compatible with Win 7.

    Looking for training in civilization 3 forums or manufacturer?

    Before you buy a new Mac, as a test, save your user files, erase the hard drive, install Mac OS X and then install only your most used applications. It should work like new.

    Any model of Mac bought today, will run Keynote, and Photo editing with ease.

  • running slow mac - cleanmymac and/or new battery?

    My macbook (13-inch late 2009 model) works well, but is running slow. I am considering buying Cleanmymac 3 - but it made a difference? I used the demo version that has identified about 110 GB, which could be authorised only if I got the full Cleanmymac3. I have to add... the battery did 470 cycles! Would it better to replace the battery or get Cleanmymac performance? I'm not very irritable so don't really understand the impact of one. Ideally I get a new mac but will try and keep this one spends more time if possible! Thank you

  • I have usef to operate only on PC, but now I have this 2009 macbook Pro.  He had a record of 7200 RPM... but he died... I want to put a hybrid SSHD on it... will it run slower?

    I used to work only on PC, but now I have this 2009 macbook Pro.  He had a record of 7200 RPM... but he died... I want to put a hybrid SSHD on it... will it run slower?

    Several years ago I tested both a hybrid version Seagate 1 and later version 2 with my 13 "2009 MBP and the computer started more quickly with one of these drives with 7200 RPM drive. But that and save files were the only time where I saw an improvement of high speed. So no, not slower, but not really all that much faster. I ended up installing an SSD in the computer. Now that was an improvement.

  • My computer is running slow/start buffering... play stop on NBC news video, CBS., there is not the 2-3 weeks... but not BBC, France 24, etc... .

    Initial problem on MSNBC Nightly News with Brian Williams... they had me download the latest version of Adobe flash and Java again. No help... called my Toshiba laptop manufacturer... suggests they try the options plan three different powers balanced, eco and high performance... no change on a... Contacted my internet provider... many phone calls, try that and other control download speeds, to recommended settings... Finally found a REP there who said there was a problem with the server congestion and they would move me to another server... had to go offline for 24 hours, while they were doing what they had on their end... checked everything with the ethernet cable and wireless also configured modem... Finally I had brought back online and the problem only has not been resolved, always running slow/updated in the buffer in NBC Nightly and a few others also had this happen with a couple of You Tube videos...

    Could this be something with speed use the news channels... as I said I have update/continue good Adobe/Java combo... This may seem a little profane... but I'm still learning about computers 57 women... it seems to coincide with the revolution in Egypt... coincidence or a lot more online activity... ?? !!! I can look at something else but would like to know what is happening and find correct it to add to my book of knowledge... Thank you very much for the time and the entry... essentially checked everything and wherever I can think to...

    Hello

    One of the possible reasons could be the speed of the internet thanks to which time can take to the buffer. You can try under methods:

    Method 1:

    You try to save the video to your computer to see if the problem persists.

    Method 2:

    You can pause the video and let the video buffer for a few minutes before selecting the 'Play' button again. Giving the download a few minutes to catch up while the video is paused can help solve the problem.

    Hope this helps,

  • Some games run very slow on Windows 8, as...

    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!
