gremmy Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Reinstall it. If that doesn't help, a new computer is the only way, I'm afraid.

GodTrickstar Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Did you try changing it to 'safe mode'?i cant find the safe mode option, but i put all the options to the least amount of graphics i could find and its still jumpy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's odd. I just looked at the screenshots you provided and can't find a safe mode option anywhere. Did you try any of the other options such as 'Software' or 'OpenGL'? Also, I stated in a previous post if anything else lags? It could be a compatibility problem with the hardware that you upgraded with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf14141 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I had issues with my laptop as well (only 2 years old). I switched it to software and it works fine. Finally on here to update that I have officially quit!

Sbrideau Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Ultimate on 2GB of RAM is a bit much. You might try deactivating the windows functions that you don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbrideau Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 A 32bit OS can only use about 3.4GB of RAM, so a reinstall will be needed as well if there is 5GB of RAM in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkzer Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Did you try using a program like Tune-Up Utilities to clean up and optimize your system? Programs like that will help you clear up unnecessary files, delete unneeded registry keys, and find programs that are installed that you rarely or never use.

GB of RAM of you are on a 32 bit OS, just install 4 in Dual Channel and you will see better performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
