January 9, 201115 yr Reinstall it. If that doesn't help, a new computer is the only way, I'm afraid. Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)Dagannoth kings drops: 73Barrows item count: 51GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)Whips: 4Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)
January 9, 201115 yr Author not sure, i can play it on the laptop no lag at all, its when i go on that computer it is really jumpy, i upgraded the video card, ram, hard drive space, and upgraded to windows 7, and we have high speed internet with nothing usually going wrong, i have no clue what is going on

January 9, 201115 yr Author 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...
January 9, 201115 yr 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... 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.
January 9, 201115 yr 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!

January 9, 201115 yr Ultimate on 2GB of RAM is a bit much. You might try deactivating the windows functions that you don't need.
January 10, 201115 yr Author Ultimate on 2GB of RAM is a bit much. You might try deactivating the windows functions that you don't need.actually, my mom just told me like a hour ago that she can get a deal from her friend to get my computer upgraded on 5 gig RAM so im hoping this will solve most of my problems
January 10, 201115 yr 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.
January 10, 201115 yr 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. Parkzer.com

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.How much i would love to do that, i can't because the computer I'm on has a lot of personal files like, photos, music etc. and resumes so if any of it get deleted by that program, I am literally dead, but what im doing atm is im going through everything all 200gig of space and im deleting what needs to be deleted, and organizing the music deleting duplicates, and temporary files from firefox and internet explorer.. so hopefully that will make it go by faster

GB of RAM of you are on a 32 bit OS, just install 4 in Dual Channel and you will see better performance.
