GPL stutters after changing to ME

After "upgrading" to Windows ME I notice that at certain tracks the video
and audio on GPL "stutters" as I drive around especially the first lap. It
seems to be a memory related thing since when I upgraded to 128Mb it got
much better. It was almost undrivable with 64Mb as it would hang with the
audio looping for seconds at a time. Strange thing is that it doesn't happen
at the ring which I would have thought would use the most memory of all the
tracks. Worked fine before on W95.

Any clues? I saw a post about this some time ago but did not see a reply.

make sure that system restore is disabled

And that your video card isn't set to Vsync as that may force it to run at
only 30fps instead of 36fps max.

switch off this recovery-rubbish and make sure not to use the MS-fastfind crap.
IIRC this solved the problem for me.
It has to do with HD-access when driving the first lap.

BTW: The next (more complicated) surgery would be to redistribute the IRQ's.

Happens to me too, and I've got 192 Mb. I think WinME allocates RAM as needed
and starts off kind of stingy. That's my theory. No facts to back it up of
course. ;-)

Tried disabling system restore and find fast, no change 8^(
I love it how a microsoft "upgrade" causes a degradation in performance!
