Windows 2000 - slowed down a game


Expert: Denis Mello - 10/22/2009

Question
Hi Denis, I slowed down a game (Freecell) because I couldn't control the speed. Did it easily by moving cursers on a site. Now the game is slower & I want to return to a higher rate but can't remember how  I did it. Have looked through accessories & control panel but I have not had luck. Can you tell me where it is.Hope I explained it OK  Thank You Maureen

Answer
Thank you for your reply.

I can help you out in fixing the problem you're facing during startup. Right this time I suggest you to perform an antivirus checking and a search for malware.

It is also good to remove invalid entries on your PC (everytime you install a program or modify something) the Windows registry is filled with information that loses its need.

Take care.
Vinny!


Hi Maureen.

I don't know this game and its controls, but since you went through the Accessories, you may follow these steps:

- go to Control Panel, then System;
- then to the Tab Advanced;
- under performance select Settings and modify the options according to your needs.

I can not say exactly what, since I don't know your configuration and even the game's best configuration, however you may remember what you did last time or you can use Task Manager to right-click the FreeCell process and change it's priority down to the lowest possible or to the higuest possible. Hope it helps!

Denis Vinny!
