I have a mesh xp and I have had it for about a year now and ever since I got it if i play certain games for too long they speed up, GTA Vice city, and LORT The Return Of The King are only the worst. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am only 15 so please don't use too complicated computer speak :p
Thanks

I heard about this problem. When PB released Gothic 3 they warned about such bug. This is because of Dual Core CPU which works faster than usual one :). And they took care about it releasing the patch. What about your case unfortunately I don't know what to do, but the problem is too fast CPU :)) although I know it sounds strange.

I don't think you'd want to slow your processor down, but limit the FPS ingame.
