Well, nooby me needs help with computers.

I just installed Windows 7 on my computer today, but now my FPS in NL has been completely destroyed. Anybody help? I do have all my settings and files from XP saved on an external hard drive, I don't know if that would help though.

Help would be greatly appreciated!
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Damn, I don't remember what it was that I did to fix that. I had the same problem for a couple days till I dicked around with the settings. Once I did figure out though, it ran fine. If I remember what it was, I'll let you know for sure. Sorry I can't be of any help right now though.

I had to change my anti aliasing down from 4 to 3 to maintain 60fps with good graphics; you may also want to check if there is a new driver for your graphics card that supports windows 7, I had to do upgrade mine before it even ran at 2fps!!!

I have a Presario CQ60 and i get around 40-50 fps on a decent wooden ride with a little theming. But i get 100fps on every ride on my custom rig.


To OP, you should upgrade to windows 7 via the disk that your manufacturer provided. They already have chipset and video drivers pre-installed. But check your windows update center for video/any other driver updates. Mine popped up within the first few minutes of turning on windows updates.

Yeah, im assuming uv updated your graphics card drivers?
If they dont come up on Windows update, download them direct from the graphics card manufacturers website.
