How do I make a game run faster on my PC?
I have a Compaq computer,windows vista.I'm trying to play Crossfire(game you download of the internet), it will load but, the screen turns all white at first, then a while later the picture and sound works.How do I make it run faster?

I know it is not a virous malware anything like that


Help!

i know its a bit obvious

but try killing all of the apps you arent using atm before loading up the game...

and if its a browser based game try deleting you cookies,temporary internet files etc..

this should help it load a bit faster.. the speed of your internet connection may also play a large role in this..
