Yo, don't ignore my post this cud be srs.

It uses DX7.

anything??

My home PC uses Vista 64bit and graal runs fine on it, but I recently bought a laptop and it has random spikes on graal where I suddenly begin to skip a lot. It uses Vista 32bit.

Laptop specs:
P7350 @ 2ghz (dual core)
3 gigs of DDR2 ram
9600M GT

PC specs:
E6550 @ 2.8ghz (dual core)
2 gigs of DDR ram
9600GT

Tried different graphic card drivers and dx updates on the laptop, no luck. Think it may be 32-bit Vista acting up with Graal? This is about v5.

The above seems to be fixed by selecting Windows Classic as your theme as opposed to Aero.

Still weird how it doesn't do this on my PC.

Vista lag was a challenge at first for my self. Yet I found a great solution, If your resolution is high such as 1280x800 then making the resolution smaller makes it not lag yet it makes your computer look horrible. So just go into f3 options and check full screen and one less resolution then you are now and it still looks fine and it runs fine.

Stefan claims the lag is poor drivers, even though my computer runs Crysis near flawlessly. :asleep:

Well I can't help you then
