please help me i dont know what to do
ive tryed everything (new drivers ive look at the cooler etc)
sorry for my english hope you understand!!!!!

Try updating your drivers to the newest version, which you can find here..

If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the drivers completly, both from "Uninstall programs" and by checking registry/using a program to clean it, and install the drivers once more... This will make sure that there aren't any leftover files which might have caused the slowdowns...

Hope this helps...

ive done that and nothing still in slowmotion

ive done that and nothing still in slowmotion

any other ideeas????

Try deactivating Truform in the control panel.

An ATI card does not like an overclocked PC. Did you overclock yours?

How much free space is left on your Harddisk (min. 15% free) ?

NoisySilence Try deactivating Truform in the control panel.

Still the same problem



realblackstuff An ATI card does not like an overclocked PC. Did you overclock yours?

my pc is not overclocked and i have 3Gb free memory on c:
and 8Gb on d:

I see your your HD is 40GB, you are running out of space!

Clean up some stuff (like temporary internet files, your Temp-directory etc.). Uninstall programs that you no longer use.
Then run a Scandisk, followed by a Defrag.

You may be surprised

Make sure you uninstall old drivers before installing new ones.

What is your CPU speed? Has this happened before?

It might be the fact that you're running short on Ram ( your profile says 128mb PC2100 ).

1.My pc is not overclocked
2.i now have more space availble
3. i know how to deinstall drivers
4.is not from the ram as i said half life 2 is running good

I have this problem only in D3D In opengl is working


AND yes i did have this problem with my Gf2Ti
before i change it with my radeon8500
when ive change it it was working fine after a time the radeon
started to move in slow motion like my Gf2Ti
then i change the slot of my internal modem
from slot 4 moved to slot 2 after that i was running good again
after a time it startet to move again in slow motion ive change
the slot of the modem again and still slow motion
Now i dont use anymore the internal modem
i have a external modem and still the same problem!!!


In counter-strike if i play the mouse is moving verry well like
qucly left right up doun but the counter or the terrorist
move forward in slow motion!!!

A friend of mine came with hys pc and we did a network in my house and when we playd cs we start from the same place
and i see on my monitor that he was running and i was left behind

it was like a race and he has 100km/h and i have 50 km/h

and i dont understand?? how can this be possible!!!
that my computer render him runing faster and i was running slower


and it was not a command from the console or something like that!!!!!!


pls can anyone help me!!!!!!


i will go with my video card to a friend to test if he got the same problem!!
Maybe its a problem from my motherboard!!!!
If there is a conflict (its not becouse ive look)


HELP!!!!!
P.S. escuse my english

Try to get the latest drivers for your mouse and check the settings of the mouse, you may have set them to SLOW instead of FAST.
Or borrow someone else's mouse and see if the problem persists.
You might also want to clean the ball in the mouse if it is not an optical mouse.

i had write this post yesterday dont know why doesnt show


ok i will say again!

its not from the mouse!!!

EXAMPLE::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Counter-strike!!!

when i move the mouse left right up down IT MOVES GOOD
NO PROBLEM THERE!!!!

but when i press the keyboard its moving forward or any direction in slow motion!!!!

i tryed with another keyboard and still the same problem!!!


so what can i do its like 1sec goes in 3 or 4 sec !!!!


Example:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Nfs 7 undergound

with all on low (verry ugly looking game at low) still slow motion!!

Splinter Cell all on high moving good!!!!!!!



on NFs 7 on some races where is not much to render in a curbe or something IT starts to move a little NORMAL but after that curbe again in slow motion!!!!!!!!!

Maybe try defragging your hard drives...this might be why your pc is being slow. Also maybe try tweaking your bios
http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/bios/print.shtml

This could be a hit, and could be a total miss...

Go into the BIOS, and locate the part where you can set the different settings for your keyboard... Increase the speed for how fast the BIOS/keyboard will repeat a pressed key... Don't increase it too much, or you won't be able to type...
You can also decrease the delay...
This should make your keyboard a bit more responsive...

Hope this helps

I was thinking bios but i wanted to know what you have you AGP multipier set at, 1,2 ,4 or 8 times? also are you running the latest direct X? version b is out now. i expect you have but i wanted to verify. i know splinter cell does not use antialiasing, which is what I was thinking until you said you weren't having a prob in lowest setting. just for grins i would make sure it has defaulted to no antialiasing.

I cant find in bios the setings for keyboard (i dont have)
ive tryed from windows control panel keyboard


ive Defrag my drives



i have 4x agp set and i have direc x 9.b and catalyst 3.9


still the same problem!!!!!

Just curious...where did you get half-life2 from? hehe

Do you have the latest motherboard drivers from here Gigabyte 7DXE
Also check and make sure your HDD is running ATA 100 and have DMA on.
