Game slow on high-end machine?

elmuadibo · Post by **elmuadibo** » 20 Aug 2006 01:46

Hi!
This is my first post on the forum.
I have a (more or less) high end machine and Locomotion runs like in a 486 =-/
My system is a 2.0GHz P4, 1024 RAM, Radeon 9600 w/ 256MB, WinXP Home.
Two years ago I played Locomotion on this same machine with an older video card (an GeForce4) and ir ran greatly, wich makes me suspect of a software issue.
Recently I installed Kaspersky IS 6 and WindowBlinds. I tried the game with the last loaded and unloaded, with no difference.
Any help on this matter?
Thanks in advance

256 Mb for XP?
Not enough.

That's the video memory which is more than enough

I have a similar system spec upstairs and don't have a problem. So I think it is more likely a software conflict.

actually, now that i think about it, there have been times where it was runnign very slow/blocky/laggy. make sure you don't have a virus scan going, those will slow anything down. also, any programs running in the background have the potential to slow anything down.

Hi!
All solved, folks.
I raised the process priority on Task Manager and it worked VERY smoothly. Seems like Kaspersky was bothering it while it was running.
Thanks for all your help.
