Default Slight glitch

Thanks for two very good games. I was running winSPMBT and winSPWW2 on a desktop with Windows Vista and both ran perfectly. I replaced this with a laptop that runs Windows 10. Everything works fine except there is a brief lag between when I click on a unit and the shot or movement sound. I've tried different settings and looking in the manual but this problem continues. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks again

I am running both games on a laptop, via a VM, the host o/s is windows 7, and the host has 8 CPUs and 32 gigs of ram, the guest is using 4 CPUs and 16 gigs of ram and is running windows 10. No real issues, but when I have seen what you explain, I have traced it down to my host eating up CPU resources, so when I kill them it returns to normal. So guessing it could be a CPU drain if some sort. You could try rebooting laptop and make sure no extra stuff is running and then open up task monitor and watch the CPU and start the game. Then see if anything spikes.

If Zovs suggestion doesn't help what would help us help you would be to know which "different settings" you tried to adjust. Most "modern" machines have enough capability to handle multiple tasks and the game.. I almost always have a graphics program running along with MOBHack and sometimes ScenHack and a game ( and sometimes both ) and I have what I would qualify as a mid-level PC..certainly not one of the high-end gaming computers. The odd thing in your case is you said it ran better in Vista than win10. Check what your "Graphics Delay" setting is in GameOptions Misc ..you may need to dial it down a touch for this new computer

And don't try running in full-screen mode with modern o/ses - windowed mode is actually faster nowadays. So try windowed mode, with desktop resolution if you were trying full-screen. Modern windows o/ses do not like the old DOS-style 256 colour graphics mode.

Thanks for your answers. I turned the graphics delay from 40 to 20 and this seems to have fixed it.

I think I had the same problem the last time I installed the game on Windows 8.1 What fixed it was what has already been suggested, switched from full screen to windowed mode at desktop resolution.

Don't forget if you do want full screen mode, set the game to desktop and use Boarder less Gaming. It works great out of the box with SPWW2/MBT for that full screen effect.

FYI-There is a link to BG near the beginning of the Game Guide, I don't use it becasue I want the taskbar showing and having the TB exposed in no way lessens my "enjoyment" of the game but I have tested it and it does work very well.
