Windows Forum / Windows XP / Games / January 2008RAGE INCominG!
ok i have he game but its the 98 version now i have a xp home edition laptop i went to compatible tab n changed it now it runs but so slow it takes for ever to move what can i do to make this game run normally? Hi POOLPRO, The slow performance is a know issue that is shared by others here: http://www.ntcompatible.com/RAGE_Incoming_c8705.html Here's another type of workaround which may work ... You can change the priority of a program to speed it up, or slow it down. Click Start / Click Run / Type: taskmgr and then press ENTER - Right Click on the program and select: "Go To Process" - Right Click on the process and "Set Priority" to High or Low as needed. - You can speed up games even more by ending all other Applications that are listed in the taskmgr, and right click to disable all icons by your clock. - I was going to explain how to use the start command from the RUN command line to launch any application from however this article is already published on the internet and covers the entire buffet, including affinities. :-) http://fox2k.net/2ktweaks/game_tuning_guide.htm - You can slow down your games even more by running many programs, or use the Moslo utility: http://www.hpaa.com/moslo/v132/moslo132.zip Moslo Instructions - Note this is not for the casual player - Use only if needed: Unzip the program to the same directory as the game you want to run slower. For the next steps to work, you have to have that directory open in windows. Note: Get the process name using taskmgr, then click Start / Search to Find it. Next click Start / click Run / type: command and then press ENTER At the DOS command prompt type: MOSLO /## GAME.EXE Note: ## is a number (actually, percentage ... using /50 runs the game at half normal speed) and GAME.EXE is the name of the game you want to play. :-)  SignatureCheers, *Windows_XP_MVP_Shell/User* Jimmy S. http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Visit my MSN Zone.com and Gaming Help Site: http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits MS Games Help and Support Center: http://support.microsoft.com/?pr=gms My advice is donated "AS IS" without warranty; nor do I confer any rights. _________________________________________________________ POOLPRO Wrote: ================= | ok i have he game but its the 98 version now i have a xp home edition laptop | i went to compatible tab n changed it now it runs but so slow it takes for | ever to move what can i do to make this game run normally?
