Greetings all, this is my first post so I'll start with a big warm Hello!
I'm having some troubles with older games on my HP510 laptop. Here's the spec:
Intel Pentium M770 (2.13GHz)
Intel GMA 950 (128mb)
1GB DDR2 SDRAM (Upgraded from 512mb)
60GB HDD
Yadda...
The problem is pretty wierd- some older games like UT and Deus Ex are running really fast. For example, if I put UT game speed to 50%, which normally would be very slow, the 10 second countdown at the end of assult maps takes about 4 seconds. I know that with older DOS games, the game will go really fast if you have a fast CPU, but these games are not *that* old and should run properly on any modern system. I have made a lot of tweaks to the machine since it was first purchased - I've removed a fair few startup items from the registry, I am wondering if maybe I've disabled some sort of graphics control software? My newer games seem to work fine i.e. KotOR, Republic Commando.
Any ideas?
