ive ran that disk defragger, disabled themes service, downloaded the latest drivers and also changed a few things in the new control panel that came with the drivers, also created a new account on my pc with f**k all running, no wallpaper, no icons on desktop, totally bare and ran sa, same thing. i might re format but as i ran rct3 on a clean format before and it was the same. tbh i remember the first time i installed it on this pc it ran a lot faster than it did now. oh that disk keeper profg said something about my mrt is high and may get fragmented....
i know my pc is crap but it should run a bit better surely. i must say my pc is at lightening speed now after ive done all that stuff... its always fast when i use xp classic theme.
