OT: Computer problems?

[HarmonyPB]

just for the sake of stupidity...check to see if you have "auto-arrange icons" selected on your desktop settings (right-click on any clear spot on the desktop & look at the "view" selections on the pop-up. sometimes that will screw things up on Win 7. i very rarely use that setting (since the 3.0 version Hersch mentioned earlier )

Nope, auto arrange is not selected. Sorry.

This is exciting!! I might learn something new today

Go to the ati control panel, driver release info is there. Know both they and nvidia had issues with going from a direct x game back to desktop with multiple monitors Ms. Harmony. Nvidia fixed their's in the 25x drivers, can't remember which driver fixed that issue for ati (think it was catalyst 10.something).

Harmony, I'm with Morandir on this one. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a driver issue. I'm assuming you have Windows 7 64 bit. It looks like they just released a new driver a couple weeks ago for your particular card:

ATI Catalyst

count me on the help chain as well....

Best thing to do is make sure you're virus definitions are up to date and you have the automatic updates for them on.

Somehow I got fragged by a virus a month or two back. Good thing about having the dual boot is being able to boot to Ubuntu and working the virus out from there

in lieu of dual booting you can also grab a copy of the Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows it's great for troubleshooting when Windows doesn't want to boot up plus the rootkit killers, etc are very good...

Ok I have an issue with a game I just downloaded, legally at that.

When I play the game, I have the lowest settings and I have it on half screen, not full and my mouse lags, I have an HP with 4gigs of ram and windows 7 with all updated drivers.

 

[Morandir835]

Does it lag in full screen mode Krazie sir?

 

[HarmonyPB]

Sorry, I tried to reply last night, but my Internet went down and I didn't feel like messing with it. The driver did need to be updated. I'm not sure if that will fix the problem. I'll have to wait until the DH plays his game again. Thanks so much for helping me out

No problem Ms. Harmony.

 

[krazie_Kid]

Morandir, the game itself didnt lag, but just the mouse. I turned all the settings to low and turned off V-sync and it still lagged, even with a usb mouse.

 

[Morandir835]

Understand Krazie sir, my question is does it (as in the mouse) lag in full screen mode or only in windowed mode?

 

[krazie_Kid]

Ohh it lagged in both modes, sorry bout that lol.

 

[Morandir835]

What video card are you running it on and have you checked for any compatibility issues? Dead space one had all sorts of mouse issues in full screen with vsync on with nvidia 200 series. No update ever fixed it. 400 series otoh issue disappeared.

 

[krazie_Kid]

I know my card is a Nividia lets see what version it is....


Ok so I found out it is not Nivida like I thought, but if it was not, how come I was getting Nivida updates?

Anyway it is Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chip Family
