Halo 2 issues... by xigodmodeix
So I can install everything okay, and when I run all the compatability tests it says it should be working amazing. Yet, it runs horrible. It is all lag and I can't do anything. I've been seeing a problem around that if your computer is too good to play the game you have to tweak certain things to play it? here is a test http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af323/ehines420/7-17-20099-53-51AM.jpg]

World of Warcraft in Vista by Nic32
Hello, I have my WoW installed on a separate partition, b/c I thought this would speed it up (something about the computer not having to look through ALL of its memory during game play). However, whenever my computer does ANYTHING else, I experience a 5-10 second lag in game play. I have a 2 Ghz dual processor and over 200 gigs of space on my main drive (the WoW drive has 15/30 gigs being used...

I'm a new user and i really want to know, why do games just NOT work with Vista..? by Asteroth
I'm a pretty new user to this forum, and i joined mainly for one reason. I need an answer, why does Vista ruin so many great games. After playing several games, some old some new, I can only notice one consistent theme..issues with my games. While some issues may be attributed to games themselves, i am however finding a very aggravating connection between my new laptop and vista and a huge jump...
