  1. You can use a program called dxwin. I found it when i was trying to run Geneforge 1 in a window. Lost the link so you will have to google it.

     

    The only problem i find with it is problems with the mouse cursor. Then again i haven't(sp?) really fooled around with much.

  2. I totally agree...

     

    By the why the last Wheel of time book is being split into 3

     

    edit: the last Modesitt novel was worse than most Hundreds of pages of battles and preparations, the last... maybe 10 pages actually had a story worth reading...imho

  3. Like Goodbye World, i also read Mage Guard of Hamor. I have read every book in the recluce saga, and I must say reading Modesitts books in that series is starting to get a little irritating.

     

    Every book seems(at least to me) to be about a young man who cant help but feel that knowledge should be handed to him. Except The Fall of Angels which was about a slightly older man who felt he was unappreciated. Each novel, or two if he splits the story, always involves said young man finally being happy with his consort.

     

    Now I'm just starting to feel like I'm playing a Final Fantasy game every time i read one of those books.(ie: man loves girl, needs to learn a lot to save what he is fighting for, and you cant forget the "surprising" twist ending)

     

    But i have been reading his books since i was 10 so maybe that is just shows how your taste in reading material changes as you age.

  4. Well only one of the laptops has a problem running geneforge.

     

    The only one that has integrated graphics is the girlfriends cheapo $200 bestbuy special. And that runs all the games just fine.

     

    I'm just trying to figure out if it is the intel/nvidia combo that is making it run slow, because all the amds handle it just fine. Not to mention i can run alot more resource needy ganes then these.

     

    I've tried compatibility mode, and tried changing the cpu affinity... restarting, defragging, ccleaning, uninstalling junk, deleting... i think i've tried everything.

  5. I have 3 computers in my house.

     

    First the girlfriends laptop which is a single-core 32bit 2ghz machine with the crappiest onboard video you've ever seen. Runs them perfect. (2ghz, 100gb hd, 1gb ram, amd)

     

    Second, my laptop, (dual-core 2.41 ghz 64bit, 240gb hd, 4gb ram, and 512mb video card, intel)

     

    Third, mt desktop, (dual-core 2.8 ghz 64bit, 200gb hd, 6gb ram, and 512mb video card as well, amd)

     

    Both the 64bit machines are running 64bit os's. All are running vista.

     

    What i cant figure out, is it the intel? or is it some other unrelated thing that i can put my fingure on.
