  1. I got a new vid card yesterday. It made some difference. I could play the last mission for awhile before the "swimming in molasses" lag hit. It wouldn't be so bad if I could control my mouse enough to click on things, but by the time it stops moving, I'm past where I was hoping to be. It's the same card that number6 says he has. I was surprised to find it at the store and on sale for $99. The sales guy said it was a definate improvement over my current card. I'm checking now for the 4in1 driver update for my mb. The last time we tried to update it my system went into super slowmo. There is an update for my BIOS too. Should I do that too?
  2. Nyarlathotep tomorrow...well later today I'm going to try to update some drivers. Last time I did that, I had some system issues so I've got to make sure I don't do the same thing again. It was something about the 4in1 pack for my mb. I need to get my husband to post here to explain that. He's asleep now. I'll make the other changes you suggested and try running it in a bit. Ok so I may not be old enough to be your mom, how about sister? :P I'm closing in on the 1/2 century mark much too fast. *sigh* Gobalopper I ran PCMark fine. What do all those numbers mean? I couldn't find anything on their website to explain them to me. My CPU score was 2791, Memory score was 1698 and HDD score was 124. It had a whole lot more info but I can't make heads or tails out of it. I did save the info. I play Ultima Online. There is a 3D version which I hate to play due to the ugliness, but I lag a bit in it too. I can play it, but I prefer not to as all my girls look horrible. That is the only other game I really play, besides Diablo. number6 my mb is definately a SY-K7VTA Pro. I already knew it was, but when I boot up, which I do alot, it also says it there too. I'm not positive about the SIIG, my husband said that. I'll have to open my case later and see what I can find. I used to know how to remove things in the startup that don't appear normally, but I forgot what file to open to manually remove them from the list. Do you know what I mean? I know it's not autoexe.bat, but it's one like that. Do you know which one it is? I don't know why createcd shows up as it doesn't autostart. I might have to upgrade my CPU and get a new vid card. Too bad I didn't think about it before now. This weekend was First Saturday in Dallas. We get the best deals there. First Saturday is a computer flea market the weekend of the first saturday of the month in a parking lot downtown. You have to get there before midnite on Friday nite to get the best deals. Stuff goes fast! Just be sure and take a flashlight. Folks come in from all over and some stores set up tables too. It's a great outing. It's been going on for over 30 years. They even have a website. http://www.firstsaturday.com IxianMace I will make that setting adjustment and see what happens. Thanks again guys for the help. Maybe we'll figure this out yet.
  3. That's just it Terror. It doesn't work fine on my computer. None of the Dune games do. They all crash me repeatedly and I have no idea why. No other game is like this for me. When playing Diablo2 LOD, after defeating...I can't remember which one...when we went to see the Archangel Tyriael before going to the next level, my husband's system lags so bad he can barely move. I can run around in circles with no lag at all. *shrug* I've been playing the assault missions up the the last one and then stopping, or just playing skirmishes. Nyarlathotep my husband has no clue what's wrong. I guess I need to take it to a shop and let them give it a once over and see if they find any problems. I have no system conflicts. number6 my vid card is a SIIG. I'm hate to keep bothering everyone, but I really , REALLY want to play! It's the only game other than UO that has my attention right now. In case anyone is curious, I am probably old enough to be most everyone's mom, if not grandmother. :O ;D
  4. Thank you IxianMace for the tips. It did make a little difference, but I still can't finish it. I've switched to just playing Skirmishes. Nyarlathotep as for my specs being "all that", I never said or thought they were. I simply wanted to find out if I was the only one having problems. If I didn't come and ask, I could not have possibly known could I? I came to ask another question about problems I'm having, but it looks like maybe I came to the wrong place.
