Video jerky on 3D games. Need help!

Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
6gig RAM
256 MB NVIDIA GeForce 9100 graphics card
9550 Quad core AMD processor

I have a problem that I can't fix on my own.  When I run any 3D video game, such as World of Warcraft, Neverwinter Nights 2 and dungeons and Dragons Online, I can play very well for about the first 5 minutes and the video would become quite agitated that it makes the game unplayable.  This system did not always have this problem, I was able to play these games without problem until about 3 months ago.  I have formatted and reloaded windows, ran numerous virus/spyware/performance scans, lowered the graphics settings to the minimum, updated all drivers and updates windows without success.  My wife has the same exact system on the same network and can play games without any problem.  I had ideas and I was wondering if anyone here has noticed.  Thanks in advance.

  • My car game needs help (swf in the post)

    Hello
    I have a car that I control with the arrow keys and I want the car to pull to the side when you press space.
    I have a picture of the hunters flash to png format that appears in the same place of the car even when I move the car to the right or left etc.

    The scene is seen from above.

    And for some reason the first flash of hunters is always slow when you hold the space key.

    It's here
    Caliber400.webs.com/car_game.swf

    Please do not move the car while testing the push function at the same time.

    This is the script that I need help.

    Sorry for my English.

    (will post if necessary fla).

    Have the muzzle flash as part of the drive to movieclip so that it moves with the car. Instead of moving out of sight in box 1, just do not have in frame 1.  Alternatively, instead of having two chassis as a movieclip, you could control its _visible property and avoid using a mount command to change the mounts.  Sometimes a change of framework can get delayed if there are a lot of things that could be happening when you say that it's slow.

  • Cannot install Windows 8, assuming that its due to the video card... Need help!

    Hi all, I'm terribly frustrated today. I think the video card, a brand specifically 6450 marked as a 7450 here, is at the origin of the problems. The pilot was a mess and when I updated and restarted windows 8 (using the stock drivers) then updated after hesitating to Windows 8. After I restarted my computer, windows 8 has been roasted and I couldn't access what anyone, I had to do a recovery install. I wonder if there are any suggestions as to what I can do here, would like any advice! Nick

    HI there - don't know why I don't post the model (h8-1227, a Pavilion), but regardless, the issue was not the video card.

    It's a seemingly simple, innocuous add-on I've used for over 2 years.

    Never heard of the Asus AI Charger?  It is used to help to "mount" the power to the USB ports on a computer, allowing an iPad draw enough power to recharge in FACT.  It has been a great feature to my computer.

    However such, it killed my first USB 3.0 ports, completely.  I would like to install the HP drivers and the USB port will work until I rebooted, then it stops.

    I completely misunderstood this as something that might have been originally, but here, I looked at the USB ports in the Device Manager and saw the tag HAVE charger which they are attached.

    Something SMALL, simple as it seems, is what was causing all that headache and frustration.  I probably lost more than 20 hours trying to solve a problem this stupid thing caused.  I even ended up buying a new video card, guess THAT's what the problem is here.

    What's happened is that the only TWO things I have installed in the computer were the new drivers for video card, Office and the charger HAVE stupid!

    Sometimes the simplest things are the most stupidly frustrating things!

  • Need help with my video! Rhapsody can't find my Clip.

    I tried to reinstall the Rhapsody software and formatting my Clip and those which do not solve my problem.  I plug my video on usb and I find the clip in 'my computer '.  I opened Rhapsody with the Clip into the usb port, and the Clip does not appear in sources more.  The Clip used to work 100% good, but no more.  I cancelled the forceps to try to resolve the problem.  So the real problem is that I cancelled the clamp to fix the problem and now I can not find out how to get the Clip appears again in Rhapsody.  Under 'my account' Rhapsody says "no authorized device.  So I need help to get my Clip is displayed in 'my devices allowed' so that I can reactive it.  Any ideas?  I run Vista and also tried to run Rhapsody as an administrator.  Thank you!

    A few simple steps should get your device to communicate in MTP mode again.  It is the most common source of problems with Rhapsody.

    First of all, verify that Rhapsody is running correctly.  Open the 4 Rhapsody client and login.  Select a piece of music in the music guide and see if it reads normally.

    Connect the clamp and take a look at the sources of pand in the upper left corner.  How the Clip appears?

    If it lists as E: SANSA CLIP all in capital letters, with a drive letter, the device is in MSC mode and cannot accept Rhapsody subscription titles.  It can accept purchased securities, that they contain no DRM as MP3 files.  Unplug the unit and switch to MTP mode manually:

    Settings > USB Mode > MTP.

    If the device appears as a Sansa Clip 4 GB for example, with caps and smalls, without a drive letter, Windows recognizes the device as a media device.

    If Rhapsody sees the devivce as shown above, try to right click on the device and select allow.  Transfers should be possible.

    If it does not appear as a MTP device, leave the connected device (after manually select MTP mode) and go to the Device Manager.  [Windows key] + [pause button], then Hardware tab > Device Manager.

    Look for the yellow triangle.  The Clip appears in the portable device, or Bus USB controllers tree.  Select Uninstall (not turn off!), unplug, restart the computer and after it restarts, try to connect again from the PSG.
