argggggggggg.

I think it all started after a power interuption. my start up is slow, looong black screen, and XP sound comes on well after the desktop has completed loading.

I've done:system restore, defrag, disk clean, ran system mechanic 6.

I have lag in BF2 and that's what's got my goat.
Any ideas besides trash my Dell today ?

roger that Cathy.
Catheter-OMO Posted - Jul 24 2006 : 07:49:20
Just go out and get a new computer. You've been having problems with BF2 on that machine anyway, and with the new one comming out you don't want to struggle the whole time.
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Jul 24 2006 : 06:34:21
but it's not falling back to PIO and UDMA 2 is fine as alot of the hardware runs at this speed (according to your link Stude. Thanks though

Nosehair-OMO Posted - Jul 23 2006 : 20:15:32
well it recommended 1533 currently allocated 1536 and maximum size is 3072

Oh nad it is set in visual effects tab to "let windows choose what's best for my comp
Specimen-OMO Posted - Jul 23 2006 : 16:47:06
Here's a thought....Have you adjusted your Virtual Memory lately. Sometimes this may need tuning.

It's under Control Panel/System/Advanced tab/Performance/Advanced tab/Virtual Memory.

There should be a recommended size there for you computer......Select a Custom Size and set the Maximum and Minimum to that size or a little higher. I have mine @ 2500.


Do NOT select "no paging file"

If this doesn't help, you can always set it to "let Windows manage"

I too have that lag, it just started in the last week. I'll have to check the UDMA and see if mine has one.(what ever that is)
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Jul 22 2006 : 16:12:37
That's me this morning Plug. It was a good Samsung monitor I know. It's about time for a 24" flat screen though eh.

I just wanna know one thing, Is that a real pic of you Nosey?? Taking the hammer to the poor defenceless pc :( Fer shame! ROLF j/k man!
Catheter-OMO Posted - Jul 22 2006 : 13:30:37
If you right click on the Primary IDE Channel in Device manager and select Uninstall and then restart it should reinstall it in the fastest DMA mode your hard drive is capable of.

Catheter-OMO Posted - Jul 22 2006 : 12:31:09
Oh but it can be changed. Your hard drive should be UDMA 5
Nosehair-OMO Posted - Jul 22 2006 : 10:08:47
UDMA for both primary and secondary is set to 2. There is no option for 5.
Catheter-OMO Posted - Jul 22 2006 : 09:44:14
Does you sound seem like it's skipping? When I was having hard drive problems mine was doing that. I found the HD instead of running on UDMA 5 it was in PIO which is the slowest mode.

You can check by going to device manager and checking properties of your IDE controllers. Mine shows Secondary for my CD Rom as UDMA 2 and Primary for my hard drive as UDMA 5.
