..got games to work

without loading XP

i thought it was cause of quad ...* or Vista ... or threading ... or the new one i tried today: starting the game then minimizing and setting afinity to only one processor under processes

i thought it was sound accelration.. i thought it was something to do with opengl...

i thought it was intel, or nvidia, or ms to blame...

i found out all i had to do was <b>only use one monitor</b>
opengl doesnt seem to support more than one screen
(i dont know if thats why)
but now quake 3, doom,, serious sam et all work - super fast
on my new monitor (first time using it today for games)

playing*serious sam 2*


*i did try that before - but i had changed compat mode for quake - which didnt*load on one monitor - but i removed it and it worked


anyway - if anyone says any of their opengl games have a 3 second stutter... tell them to try one monitor
(so simple... yet was so hard to figure out!)


edit: *remember - on my last machine p4/hyperthreading - all the above games worked - even with 3 monitors.
