Hi Mohammed,.
For a better understanding of the issue, let me know if you get an error message?
This problem could occur due to these reasons.
- Conflict between third-party applications.

- If the game is not properly installed or damaged.
Try the steps listed here and see if it helps.
Method 1:

Setting the system in a clean boot state will help you determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

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!

Why Thunderbird runs very slow on Windows 7 CAUSE: McAfee
Installed Thunderbird worm 31.6.0 on my desktop Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 32-bit, 4G ram, Intel i5 processor clocked at 2.66 GHz,
a few months ago and he ran very well in the beginning.
Now that I've used for some time it slowed considerably.
All Thunderbird functions slow clicking to select a group of messages, even deleting just one single message, opening a message, etc.
It has compact records on several occasions, and I did not have a large number of stored messages (maybe the total of all files, including waste, spam, sent, etc. is about 500).
I use McAfee Anit-Virus, which ignores analysis attachments to emails.There were reports of slow performance with Thunderbird on Win7?
Maybe my problem is caused by McAfee?
Ideas, suggestions are welcome,
Thank you

Method 1
I suggest that you completely uninstall the drivers of the computer graphics card using Device Manager and then download and install the latest driver pack by visiting the site of graphics card manufacturer.
To access Device Manager, use either of the following methods:
(a) click Start, click run, and then type devmgmt.msc.
(b) right-click my computerand click Manage, and then click Device Manager.
(c) right-click my computer, click Propertiesand click the hardware tab, then click Device Manager.
(d) in the Device Manager, find the entry for graphics card, right click and click on uninstall.
(e) restart the computer when the prompt.
How to manage devices in Windows XP
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/283658
After the reboot, install the latest driver for graphics card and check if it works.
Method 2
If the previous step fails, then I suggest that reduce you the hardware acceleration on your computer and check if it helps.
To adjust graphics hardware acceleration, follow these steps:
1. click on Start type customization in the Search box, and then click personalization in the list of programs .
2. click on display settings.
3. click on Advanced settings.
4. click on the tab Troubleshooting , and then click change settings. Collapse this includes this image
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
5. move the notches on both Hardware Acceleration slider to the left of full (the parameter disable the accelerations of cursor and bitmap ).
6. click OKand then click restart now.
7. once the computer has restarted, test the game.
I hope this helps!

Mac keeps restarting and is very slow running
Why not keep restart my mac and works very slow since I installed El Capitan?
Most likely because you upgraded an already dysfunctional system without the first fix. Or your HARD drive may be faulty.
Try these in order to test your system after each see if it is back to normal:
1. a. reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.
b. Macs with Intel processors: reset of the controller (SMC) system management
2. restart the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart again, normally. If this does not help, then:
HD recovery start: restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and press and hold the
COMMAND and R keys until it appears the Utilities menu screen.
3 fix the hard disk and permissions: select startup drive in the Utilities menu utility. Fix the hard drive and the permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. After loading disk utility select it
back from Macintosh HD entry of the list on the left. Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait for the operation
ends, then quit disk utility and back to the main menu.
4 reinstall OS X: restart from HD recovery Select reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, then click on the continue button.
Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than wireless.
When you get it working properly, and then download and reinstall OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 Combo Update.

Adding more ram is not a task difficult because memory ram chips simply plug in a socket on the motherboard.
However, it can be difficult, because it requires opening the computer. Then there that understand particular motherboard configuratoin needs when it comes to memory.
Some motherboards have specific requirements for memory.
so the first step is to look at the manual of the computer on the configuration of the memory section and see if you can add more ram, or if you need to get out of this little chip of 256 out and just use a larger chip, such as 1 gig of ram. (for ordinary computer users and xp, it is not necessary to have more than 1 GB of ram installed)
with regard to the safe mode. you are unable to connect to the internet because it is not allowed. However, in safe mode with networking you can, since the internet is a global network.
the reason why security mode perform better than in normal mode, is due to the fact that non-microsoft programs, IE third party programs are prevented from loading into memory and running.
as a result of not having other programs the windwos (by itself) is able to work ok in / with the chip memory.
In contrast, mode normal, windows + third-party programs are loaded in your partial memory chip, and it's moving the system.
If at this point, you could try to eliminate some of the programs that are automatically started and running in memory for windows in normal mode get an improvement in performance.
the method is called "clean boot" and here are the steps:
http://pcsmarties.WordPress.com/CleanBoot/
but the above method plus adding more memory to your computer, is the way to go.
either said by the way, if you want to perform a clean boot, make sure not to disable the start up programs for what is toshiba, like the mouse or the keyboard.
on some laptops the mouse drivers are loaded at startup and that you have to plug a regular usb mouse for some functions of the mouse until you can re - initialize the mouse driver.
In addition, you mentioned that malwarebytes found some infections. Although this is a good thing, it is hoped that the infection is not one of your folders of window system corrupt.
