| 511395 | 2006-12-31 21:25:00 | It'll be better if u use the tools/startup tab in ccleaner. These don't have to be in startup. qttask Msnmsgr Bigfix - Some sites say this is a memory hog, if it runs on startup. Nerocheck Jusched I think the atiptaxx entry is only for the icon on the taskbar. You don't need that in startup. I would use Foxit Reader, instead of Adobe reader. If you're not doing anything else but opening PDF files. You don't need AVG and Avast, they may conflict, if both are scanning emails. Losing the colour / lowering the resolution may also give u a bit more ram. |

| 511397 | 2006-12-31 21:41:00 | As I understand it, why, if you are about to play a game, would you need a PDF reader loaded? items in the startup menu are preloaded to make them faster to access later and unchecking them in msconfig does not disable the app, it just makes them slightly slower to open.Same with services. Hide all MSoft services and go from there. | limepile (96) | ||
| 511398 | 2006-12-31 21:44:00 | I had an AMD 1600+ with 512mb ram... your system 'should' run the game ok with those specs. As PCtek said, if you diisable anti virus/firewall programs together you MUST disconnect from the internet... either unplug the phone line or switch off your router. Note that if you switch off your router it can take quite a few tries to reconnect when switched back on ie you might get a few 'unable to connect try again' pages with different sites before it gets going again (maybe this was the 'stuffed up your internet' problem?) Have you also looked at the computer performance settings? Go into Control panel> system> click on advanced tab> click performance 'settings' button> look in visual effects tab for options (adjust for best performance etc) or look in advanced tab and have a go at changing the page file size. |

| 511400 | 2006-12-31 22:19:00 | Thanks guys. Have implemented all suggestions. Don't know whether it will work, because apparently Sierra and Tilted Mill tried to pull a Vista and released the game without exhaustive testing - as the TiltedMill website forums will tell you. Quite a few gremlins in the game, don't know if it's my PC or the game. Waiting on a patch. (Sounds familair!!) sarel |
