OT Stuttering problems solved

I had a lot of problems lately, stuttering in my sims at random moments, ridiculous loading times from my HD and CDROM and a bunch of other problems. Clean install of W98 didn't help. Well, today I installed XP and guess what.. All problems are gone :) Thanks to Jason and Andrew and the rest for the tips! Hey Goy, Microsoft rulez ;) Andre

In GPL (and all other games) I had the problem that the HD kept on loading for about 1 minute after I could drive allready, so the first minute of the race I was racing with an fps varying from 36 to about 10. After a minute the loading stopped and I had a constant 36fps. In XP this problem is gone. A friend of mine told me he had to delete a certain file in GPL to get it working under XP, but mine run out of the box. Why did you ask, is there a know stuttering problem with GPL under XP? I only tried training mode yesterday, had 36fps, have to test full grid races on the graphically heavier tracks though. I've been testing games and programs all night long and so far XP does wonders here.. very happy with it! Your 'how to give XP the look and feel of 98' was very helpfull by the way :) Andre

XP detected and installed drivers for the card automatically and so far it works perfect. Andre
