i have a bit of a strange problem

i have been playing numerous game now on my machine at home and they have always run fine. That was until i installed hitman oh and my brother filled the machine with every kind of virus, spyware, trojan.

what happens is when playing games the rest of the game and all the characters run fine and in normal speed but my character is slow and retarded. Like in hit man it takes me about 3-5 seconds to turn around but i have already been shot a few times and the guy is right up on me. Or in GTA i cant cross a road with out being hit by a vehcile... never mind doing a mission...

so stoke was telling me that it could be driver files (without knowing the whole the story) so i tried it, deleted the old driver and reinstalled them wow the game was running fine again but them it slowly started to get slower and slower and slower i think it is now slower than it used to be...

I had a similar problem on Red Faction a few years ago, IIRC I re-installed directx and the problem went away. YMMV.

Reload!

[slogger_1]

heh TG, we can always ask spanner booi to give precise reload instructions

[SaintMg]

Thanks but i think i wil be just fine on my own doing the reload

note how i cleverly avoided even asking what you ment by that cause it just might give me stupid ideas that my little head will think are kewl and worth a try

dammm i guess not smart enough...

No doubt!

Just refering to a friend of ours who has reloaded his XP machine must be hundreds of times. Unnecessarily of course. So TG presented him with a "Spanner" award, for being such a big tool

[TG]

Yeah, this friend of ours has reloading XP to a fine art. He's even created an XP disc that loads XP and for the most part, automatically sets it up the way he likes it with custom drivers etc etc.

If he doesn't reload his machine at least once every 2-3 weeks it's a frikkin' miracle.

It completely baffles me. I swear he must have OCD+EF.
