Lower the quality of the Games and see if that helps and try running in 1024x768 or even 800x600. Also you should probably defrag and maybe it is time for a Reformat, how long have you had your system for?

 

[Remz-RK]

Yea ive tried lowing the quality didnt help, and ive had my system for 3 year i think ive upgraded the ram and the GPU. and if i would reformat would that erase windows xp, i dont have a disk to reinstall.

 

[nuke]

ya obviously if you want to reformat it will erase everything.. you have to have another HDD to put the information in the there, and transfer it again.

 

[Remz-RK]

could i just store my windows dir on a disk .

 

[nuke]

yeah if you want too. If you have enough space on the disk.

 

[Remz-RK]

na i was thinking muliple disks.

 

[nuke]

then that will be good.

 

[Remz-RK]

how would i get it back on to my HD will i need to make a start up disk.

 

[nuke]

just create a new folder and then copy and paste all the folders to the new folder.
