SEV question

One item that helps Vista SE5 performance is disabling "Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts", which can usually be found under the appearance tab (in effects) of the Display Properties dialog.

I have Vista Premium 64 bit, but fortunately for me I don't have problems. The only thing that's a bit uncomfortable is that I can't run any other program in the background, it makes SE V blink in rapid succession. Like a strobe-light.

I didn't think I was gone for that long

Hi

Don't need a welcome home party

Just didn't know why it was a suprise I had 256 posts!

Anyway, thanks for the help. Captain Kwok, thanks a lot! I just disabled everything in properties and the performance went from around 10fps to 120

... Honestly, I can not tell the diffrence between the 120 here and whatever I got on my old pc (I think it was around 30), but it really makes a diffrence to 10!

Thanks everyone

Edit - Just realised... high frame rates are nice, but... it will not go out of windowed mode at any resolution :S the only thing that is diffrent is that in last game, I alt tabed and closed it without closing in game... did I do something wrong? no matter what I try, it will not return to full screen.
