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!

    So I decided to install a copy of windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.

  • 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).

    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.

    2. Because of missing updates.
    3. If the game is not properly installed or damaged.

    ===========================================

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Windows 7 SP1 w/IE 11 freezes, slow performance with switching webpages, downloads, games run very slowly and when to play simple games (for example, CandyCrush Saga) it ignores the graphics and music.

    I have an older Toshiba Satellite laptop I found that, after buying new laptops, I return to my only older because of its speed of travel from site to site, download and never had any problems with games.  I was running Windows 7 Home Edition, IE 9.

    About a year ago, I decided to upgrade my Windows 7 Home Edition to Windows 7 Professional and updated my browser IE 11.  Laptop still has a large.

    Then about 6 months ago I started to receive messages when you enter a Web site that I need to install Flash Player to view the page.  I checked my modules and Shockwave or Flash Player have been activated and would download it again to display the Web site (which I had already visited several times without any problems).  This has happened on several different sites.  Then I started to receive messages that I needed to upgrade my IE8 browser to a newer version.  I checked HELP to make sure that I still installed IE11 and I did it, I started getting these messages more often then I went to the aid of Microsoft Office on what to do if your Web pages telling you to upgrade.  Basically, IE11 is reset or uninstall IE11.  Reset is not good so I tried the method of reinstallment.  I uninstalled IE11, went to the download page for Microsoft IE11 and proceeds to download IE11.

    I saw a message that I couldn't download IE11 because I need to Windows 7 SP1 or later or Windows server 2008.  Then, I went to Microsoft requirements for the installation of Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and follow-up procedures one (i.e., uninstall Adobe Acrobet, disabling Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender and firewall, etc.) and after the installation of SP1 for Windows 7, followed all procedures to know what to do after the installation of SP1.  Downloaded all the updates (which were more than 120) restarted and was satisfied with fluent how my laptop worked once more.

    After a week, I noticed my phone to talk more and more to load pages and would begin to get Windows Explorer "unresponsive".  It started with almost everything I opened and I tried to edit Web pages or click icon to redirect me to another window, I kept receiving "not responding".  Rose (Microsoft), what to do and monitoring tools to try to fix the problem.  Initially, the problem was to find for a few hours, then starting upwards.  After a few days, my laptop almost took 30-45 seconds to switch between the tabs or windows.  After a search through questions and answers in the Microsoft community and Microsoft Web pages, the bottom line was reinstall Windows 7 SP1.

    Yet once, uninstalled and reinstalled Windows 7 SP1 and again ran perfect for a few days.  I turned on computer laptop yesterday and noticed that it took a long time for the upcoming Windows logo and has a black screen for a few seconds before the logo appears.  Of course, out of nowhere, I went to IE clicked icon and took forever to get to Yahoo (which is my predefined Web page).  Each page, I'm going to again is freezing, "not responding" and very slow operation.

    It is so frustrating because I added not all programs at all.  I am running IE11, Microsoft Security Essentials, and that's all. Outside of Windows Defender, firewall, Explorer, Media player, etc..  Microsoft Security Essentials (I did a full scan) has detected no viruses whatsoever and I 264 GB 285 GB free on my C: drive.  Therefore, there is no problem with the free space.  I have deleted the old files, temp files, analyzed and defragmented my hard drive and am just lost as to what is the cause.  All my drives are underway and have no conflict with all devices.  If I go down my Windows Professional so I will not be able to download anything higher than IE9.  I love IE11 and am happy with Win 7 SP1 if only he would stay longer than 3 or 4 working days.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    I apologize is not getting back to you earlier.

    When you download and install games and other you don't normally need to keep what you have downloaded in the downloads folder. Some downloads are wide to remove could free up some disk space! You need to do on a regular basis to keep on top of the problem...

    The content of your video in total 414 GB file. You might look at some of them again? If this is not the case, delete those that you no longer need.

    You have a lot of icons on the desktop. Take a look at these and remove those that you never use.

    When you did above select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.
