Need help with my laptop.

Hi guys,

I need help with my laptop! I've tried anything so far I knew; registry checks, cleaning history, defragmentatig my /C, everything that came on google in my search results have been tried by me, also I virus scanned etc. I don't have many stuff on my laptop ;S.

But still, when I play on uber low or on high, on Spring. Everything goes fine until I have like 30 units, same goes with other games, I am going to lagg then, and when a 'battle' starts, it freezes until the battle is done.

Can anyone please tell me what's wrong with my laptop, it worked fine first, I could have major battles etc. on that big green map of 83MB.

This is really frustrating for me, as I can't enjoy many games.

Please?

Totobello

Properly size your quick launch tray, people will make fun of you.

(I love how in German you can just keep adding more and more words together until you get something 70 characters long to describe the act of sitting on a chair)

Ok so he's got a Pentium M 1.8 ghz, nice... and a Geforce Go 7300... which is passable anyway... should at least be as powerful as one of those FX5200s crazy people and hippies still use...

Hmm...

Are you running any AI or are you playing solo or are you playing multiplayer?

By "lag" (or whatever you said) do you mean that your whole screen freezes up entirely or do the units just stop moving?

Have you tried a smaller map, such as SmallDivide?

What version of video card drivers are you running?

I'm assuming your Geforce 7300 does not have any onboard RAM of its own, how much are you assigning it to share with the computer in your BIOS menu?

What do you mean by that? :P.

It's Dutch, :C.

It has worked fine before, without lag.

AI.


By "lag" (or whatever you said) do you mean that your whole screen freezes up entirely or do the units just stop moving?

It freezes, until the units stop moving (get to their position) Or when I have like 30 units it also gives little screenfreezes. It looks like theirs some maxium unit thingy on it or something. Because everything goes fine if I have like 10 units...

Have you tried a smaller map, such as SmallDivide?

I only tried those maps, because doing a bigger map would be already suicidal, ALTHOUGH! Big maps didn't lag either until 30 units..

What version of video card drivers are you running?

The best I believe, I searched at Medion, my laptop producer, and I found an update there. In DirectX versions; 9.0C

I don't know, where can I find this, and if I can find it. How many should I give it?

I noticed that my laptop is really hot sometimes. I know it decreases the speed etc.

But when I start my laptop up, and it cold etc. It does the same..

It is now 80 degrees hot ;c

What we still do not know:

- What Operating system are you running?
- Which service packs?
- How much ram do you have?
- What type of ram do you have?

Using your screenshot, I can devise that your operating system is either:
  • Windows 2000
  • Windows XP
  • Windows XP x64
  • Windows Server 2003
Your version of internet explorer is also out of date, you should upgrade to IE 7. I know you use firefox but IE is everywhere in windows and it needs updating because no matter what browser you use, IE is displaying the side bars in my documents, the little dog in the search application, the purple blue menus in control panel, etc. Its not just a browser, its a critical OS component.

You also haven't told us what maps you tried, or what game you were playing, was it BA? CA? Kernel panic?

I tried battle of terrax3134 or something.
Mod; BA

And I have XP.

Which type of ram, I don't know what you mean..


Could you be a bit more specific. I would know what you mean in Dutch :P, but I simply don't understand English that greatly.

1.8 Ram

Heh heh... he means what type of memory you have, like is it PC2-6400 for instance or is it PC2-4300, etc. I think he's got the wrong idea in his head though, 1.8gb of ANY ram is enough for Spring.

A hat is something that goes on your head to advertise how long your penis is.

I'd collapse under the weight of that hat then.

large hat = small penis
It's more like compensation than advertising
