probuild521 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hey i jsut got a dv4-1028us on a circuit city close out i installed warcraft 3 the frozen throne and it lags to no end. My much older desktop has no issue and runs smooth on the same wireless internet. It is brand new, virus free. I am not running it form the cd but rather an ISO image(same as my desktop). I have tried xp sp2 compatibility thing, lowered the graphics all to their lowest settings, updated video/chipset/network drivers. Any ideas? It is a 64bit vista system 4gb ram320gb 5400rpm hard drivep8400 processor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete_C Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 If this is a very old game it could be an example of the processor actually being too fast for the game. It gets ahead of itself so to speak.Back in the day , there was a button on the front of the computer called "turbo" , it actually did the exact opposite of turbocharging, it slowed the new fast processors down enough to run older DOS games on those fancy new Windows machines.
