[Win7]Strange problem(gaming)

[RoBJ]

Hi guys,

I installed windows 7 a month ago (now got rid of it). And I got a strange problem when playing games.

I installed drivers from WIndows 7 updating system, acer site and from laptopvideo2go. but they all failed for me. (I could install them, but same problem)

The problem is : When I play games I get a strange feeling on my screen, like it's not smooth, some sort of fps drops but not that much.

In Trackmania I get heavy fps drops and stuttering with vsync off, with vsync on the fps drops are gone but still stuttering

In Call of Duty 4 I get strange fps drops every 20 seconds.

My laptop : Acer Aspire 7520G

I hope you can help me,
Rob

Don't have windows 7 installed anymore (did a format), but I just want to know what the problem was.

wel most likely it was driver compatibility

You sure? I've used the 18x edittions of Nvidia + Some of Laptopvideo2go + those that downloaded win7 itself.

wel it depends . did they install sucessfully and was there any yellow marks in device manager ?

No not at all.

it has to be driver compatibility because there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the gfx card physicaly since its working in vista

So you think I installed the wrong drivers or not for windows 7 modified yet?

could have been . the drivers I gave you the link to should work
sometimes its hard to understand which drivers to use because of all the different types
a clean install should do the trick but the best bet is to wait for a while until all the correct drivers are prpgrammed and out for windows 7

And do you maybe know when those will be released?

 

[lamboss]

not sure but the ones I gave you a link to should work
try creating a virtual machine with vmware player and install them

Doesn't Windows 7 goes very slow then? Cause it's in a vm?

nope if u have the iso on your desktop . it depends on hdd speeds or cd rom speeds if your going to be using the disk . You could always down a lite version of windows 7 from a bit torrent and its only 700 mb

Tried it, could not even install it Got an error that my device wasn't compact with it

 

[lamboss]

with windows 7 lite ?
