Win2000 hanging up on 3D games

emthompson

My new computer is a Thunderbird 1ghz on a soyo sy-k7vta viak133 board, 128mb ram, and an OEM 32 GeForce2 mx card. My original system was running ME and I had no problem running games with it. I just switched over to 2000 and now my games are running very choppy and the computer even seems to be running slower.

NFS4 High Stakes fix

KODEN

FYI: For anybody who is using the -patchrestart argument. Using -d3d1 works a lot better. Instead of starting at the multiplayer screen making you back out, the game starts normally. .
