Bullet Wound Posted January 19, 2009 Content Count: 2390 Joined: 09/24/08 Status: Offline Share Posted January 19, 2009 His OS isn't the problem however there is a reason why Vista requires more RAM to run the same program that XP can run. That being said, Daze did give the best advice here....in fact he was the only one that gave real advice. Just in-case people are wondering, Vista uses more RAM then XP for just to run itself and all its xtra features, in fact it uses a certain percentage of all the ram you have (i don't know the percentage so don't ask). So having Vista is gimping him (bad term i know, but it works), but its not his problem in this case. So yea...do what Daze said, that's my advice. Link to comment

If you have less than say 2 gigs on Vista than you could be in trouble. My personal suggestion is just backing up all your files on a portable HDD and reformatting your PC completely. Link to comment

Bullet Wound Posted January 21, 2009 Content Count: 2390 Joined: 09/24/08 Status: Offline Share Posted January 21, 2009 3G....on a laptop....really? I mean, the vast majority of laptops only have 2 slots for RAM, granted they could have easil just put in a 2G and 1G stick...but still, the common thing for laptops is to have matching RAM sticks (1G and 1G,512 and 512 if its older). If you have 3Gs RAM, then its only safe to assume the rest of the hardware is as good, therefore it should not have anything to do with your hardware. Link to comment

I play on a laptop also, and if I leave my power option power saver or balanced, it can cause lag. Link to comment
