..got games to work

[NewsBot]

without loading XP

 

i thought it was cause of quad ...* or Vista ... or threading ... or the new one i tried today: starting the game then minimizing and setting afinity to only one processor under processes

 

i thought it was sound accelration.. i thought it was something to do with opengl...

 

i thought it was intel, or nvidia, or ms to blame...

 

i found out all i had to do was only use one monitor

opengl doesnt seem to support more than one screen

(i dont know if thats why)

but now quake 3, doom,, serious sam et all work - super fast

on my new monitor (first time using it today for games)

 

playing*serious sam 2* :)

 

 

*i did try that before - but i had changed compat mode for quake - which didnt*load on one monitor - but i removed it and it worked

 

 

anyway - if anyone says any of their opengl games have a 3 second stutter... tell them to try one monitor

(so simple... yet was so hard to figure out!)

 

 

edit: *remember - on my last machine p4/hyperthreading - all the above games worked - even with 3 monitors.
