Please help as I am at a complete loss.
I was playing OutRun 2006 & FIFA 2007 last week with no problems - both ran fine.
However I am now experiencing slow down and general frame rate problems in these games ( and others )
I have tried everything
I have ran anti virus ( nod32 ) ran spyware searches ( ad-aware & spybot ) Ran registry cleaner ( registry mechanic ) Optimized PC ( PC Pitstop Optimize ) Downloaded latest NVIDIA driver ( 93.71 ) Task Manager showing no running applications in the background
The internet is running fine - just my gaming experiences I am having problems with - annoying when they were running fine previously
Please help guys - will be eternally grateful - seriously
