    Extremely low FPS in Quake 2

    Oh, I'm barely tapping out the resources of my machine. I'm thinking drivers too but the only problem with that is I've tried every drived out there which include the latest ATI Catylyst drivers, the latest Omega drivers, and the Dell drivers. Surprisingly, the Dell drivers perform the best for...

    Extremely low FPS in Quake 2

    Nope, no kind of maxfps set. I should explain that I am the head forum administrator at www.quake3world.com (forums are down right now for upgrades) and have been for years. I'm not a typical quake newb but am new to owning an ATI card which is the only difference I can see right now in my...

    Extremely low FPS in Quake 2

    The setting to lock it to the refresh rate of the screen is in the console menu under Video "Sync every frame" and it's set to off. I haven't checked it yet but I will be shortly as soon as I connect to my home machine. I won't know if it's fixed until later though because I'm not going to...

    Extremely low FPS in Quake 2

    Thanks for the reply. I'll check the maxfps settings when I get home but yeah, I know for a fact I'm in openGL mode and when I change resolutions the frame rate inreases but minimally. I'm not even clearing 100 FPS no matter what setting which is wrong for my hardware specs. I've had lesser...

    They put max and min caps on pings to keep gameplay fun, fair, and competitive. If you have a ping of 30 and someone else has a ping of 200 then they 200 ping person needs to be excellent with skill as well as comfortable with the lag to be able to even play with a 30 ping user. High pings...

    IE: if I "open in new window" old window closes upon the new one opening

    Are you sure you don't have some kind of trojan on your machine? I'd be suspect of that more than anything else.

    Extremely low FPS in Quake 2

    Yeah. I didn't reinstall Q2 I just merely copied the directory off my old PC across the network like I have been doing for years when I reinstall (the OS). I've done nothing different so I know it's driver or hardware related. For all I know there's a tweak. *shrug*

    Extremely low FPS in Quake 2

    It's defninitely on OpenGL mode. I know better than to run in software rendering mode. My cfg hasn't changed in 2 years and on my old P3 1 Ghz with a GeForce 3 Ti 200 I was getting 450+ FPS on /timerefresh.

    What is WinXPDisposableZeroConfiguration.exe and why is it utilizing 99% of my CPU

    Well, since it appears to be a valid application I wouldn't delete the file. Here's what I would do. I'd go into the registry editor select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run folder and go to File-->Export... and make a backup copy of your RUN hive just in case...

    What is WinXPDisposableZeroConfiguration.exe and why is it utilizing 99% of my CPU

    That sounds like it's trying to hide as Microsoft's Wireless Zero Configuration service but that's handled by %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs which would be the valid executable for it. I did a quick search on that exe and nothing. I'd assume it's some sort of trojan and I'd...

    Extremely low FPS in Quake 2

    I just recently got a new Dell that has a 128 mb Radeon X300 SE PCIE card in it. Everything like Quake3 and other games are working properly but for some reason with Quake 2 I'm only getting 31 FPS on a /timerefresh running at 1024x768. Has anyone seen this problem before? System Specs...

    Samsung SyncMaster 213T Resolution issues

    Ok, got it working. Had to downgrade to Forceware 56.64 and installed the Samsung drivers. Once I did that, I added a custom resolution to get it running at 1600x1200@60Hz 32 bit color.

    Samsung SyncMaster 213T Resolution issues

    I just picked up a 213T today and when I got it home and hooked up I was surprised to see no matter what I try I cannot get this to run at 1600x1200 on analog. It appears that the resolution is too big for the monitor. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm running it with a Nvidia GeForce 3 Ti200.
