Games Start Lagging During Play?
Jul 12, 2014
I have an HP Envy 17-jo29nr that has a GeForce 750m in it. Running Windows 8.1. It's been fine for a year and now when I'm playing games (Wolenstein The New Order, Watchdogs, even Saints Row The Third), the sound will crackle and the game will lag really bad and freeze up for a bit. I'm not sure what other info I should be providing. I must say, sometimes when I'm playing a movie in VLC, it'll do the sound crackling thing and lag a little bit and sometimes the sound will do this on my computer briefly. Doesn't happen with music. The VLC uses the intel GPU though, I have no clue what's going on.

I've got a new laptop (Dell Inspiron 17r special edition) for 1 week now, and last night I've been playing Devil May Cry and I started noticing lag. Normally, I would play Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 6 on highest settings with google chrome and utorrent running in the background and it would not lag.

Apparently DirectDraw games don't run to well on Windows 8.
I recently wanted to play a Desperados an old isometric tactics game. But it ran like 10% the speed it's supposed to. So it was unplayable.
There are some alternative ddraw stuff out there. Actually one works somewhat: with wine3d-s ddraw.dll (and dependencies) the game runs mostly normally (with occasional crashes), but the game HUD is total garbage. Mostly black sometimes the proper thing flashes when I click on them.
Is there a proper solution for playing old ddraw games?

my old computer recently broke down so I got an extra laptop that my father had. I've been trying to play several games that I've downloaded but I need to update my graphics driver. The issue with that is the manufacturer is "(Standard Display Types)" DxDiag.txt (system information)

I upgraded my Windows 8 to 8.1 a few weeks back and ever since then I've been catching the BSOD (seemingly) randomly. I've tried everything I can think of yet still can't things going right again. I've tried refresh, repair, restore you name it. I've done malware searches, registry repairs, I've even run AVGs cool toolbox program (which found A LOT of crap not set properly). I've ran chkdsk, scndsk, and every other *dsk I can think of. I've even reformatted my drive (from within windows and without) a couple times. Somehow I've got what seems to be a stable system, but even a few hours ago it gave me the BSOD. It's booted back up, and has been running since but I cannot play online games (Forsaken, SWOR, etc.) without it freezing up and threatening me with that BSOD again.

I recently installed Windows 8 64 bit from Windows 7 32 bit. I never had any problems really with the windows 7 32 bit but since upgrading to Windows 8 64 bit I am having this odd problem. I am a gamer, I have Steam with lots of games and so I play one then play another and another then I go to start a game (It isn't the same game) and the computer resets and does its thing. I have made sure all my drivers are up to date as I have heard that that can be the problem.

I recently did a refresh of Windows 8, not by choice but I was getting BSOD on boot after a bad install of nfs+ paragon .
Anyways I reinstalled almost everything but I have this problem that I notice as a audio problem at first but seems to be much bigger. I will open a video on youtube say, the video will play but there will be no audio. I go to open the audio control panel or anything pertaining to it, the window for it will either freeze or refuse to open at all. Aside from that, after I noticed this or even before I notice this I also can't open up most apps, noticeably steam games, they will start too load but then freeze on load. No Idea what is causing this and I don't know what else to upgrade driver wise. Very fed up since the refresh could have been avoided in the first place...

I just got my new laptop, it came without an OS, so I installed Windows 8.1 Pro.
I've only got BSOD so far when:
-Recording Counter-Strike Source with either NVIDIA Shadowplay, Fraps or Bandicam. It happens allmost instantly after starting recording (about 15-30 seconds).
.Just playing Asphalt 8: Airborne (from the store). One time I got BSOD almost instantly, another time I played for a couple of minutes before I exited the game myself.
I did not get BSOD when:
-Playing Counter-Strike Source and using Skype (and not recording).
-Recording Arma 3 (recorded for 1 hour).
These are the erros I've been able to capture (when playing CSS and recording):
BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY
KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
KMODE_EXEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (win32k.sys)
KMODE_EXEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
And I also did ran Memtest86+ twice: [URL] ....

I just happened to switch over to Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit. I previously had WinXP SP3.
Now, i have an old laptop: Core2Duo T5200 1,6 GHz, Intel GMA 950 (256 MB) and 2 GB DDR2.
The problem is after switching to Win8 YouTube videos lag in normal view (480p, 720p, doesn't matter), and they stop logging after going full-screen. But i rarely watch things in full-screen. With WinXP videos were smooth and no lagging occured.
I have the latest Flash, latest updates, latest GPU drivers (considering Intel stopped offering ones back in 2009, so i used the ones Win Update offered). Is it because my rig is too old, and this Metro interface is eating up much of the GPU/CPU?

I am having problems with my Windows Media Player 12 on my Windows 8.1 Enterprise PC, when I publish a video from my JVC Everio HD Camcorder (Model NO.: GZ-HM300SEK).
Every time I click to play a video and when I skip the video along.. the image freezes for 2 seconds and it continues with a stutter. I am guessing that the PC doesn't handle a bit of HD specs (if I am right).

Lets just say someone was looking at something they shouldnt of been looking at online and now my game lags. The lag isn't network related its because my cpu is peaking out and it didnt before the above mentioned event. The game will lag, I will hit w key and my toon wont move or ill be in pvp and look like im killing someone to be insta dead. I will attempt to turn with A or D and like 3 seconds later my toon will turn.
I have malware bytes but it finds nothing when I scan. and when my game is lagging I pull up task manager to see my cpu running really high and as soon as the task manager comes up it drops back down to a normal operating state and the process that is making it run really high drops off the list before i can see what it actually is. Also on my task manager I see a wow proxy server or something and when i end that task it does run a little faster but still unplayable at times.
Anyways I have :
ran malware bytes
downloaded norton/ran norton scan
still find nothing
My cpu and disk (on tank manager) run up to 90% and 100% and back down to normal levels and bakc up again and stays at like 100% cpu when i play the game , but two days ago it played the game flawlessly so i know its malicious software.
I want to play wow and its not really playable right now, I mean it seems to play but lags so bad and my world and home are at like 50 so its not a network lag.

On a new custom built desktop, running Windows 8, I am having the annoying problem with the mouse lagging or sticking on the screen. It can do this differently at times, depending on what program I am in. For instance, on the desktop a few moments ago, just running the mouse pointer back and forth slowly across the screen, it would tend to stick for a couple of seconds when in line with the icons that are on the right side of the screen. As if there was an imaginary line stopping it. In Internet Explorer, it did not want to go to the upper right area where the favorites and home icons are. But at times, the mouse is perfect.
I've upgraded my video card drivers right from the manufacturer's website. It as if something runs in the background intermittently and hangs the mouse for a second or two.

ALT-TAB is not working when I am playing online games (Crossfire -develop by SmileGate/Neowiz) and Steam-DOTA2. I just experience it when I upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Is there a workaround on this? I don't want to go back to Windows 7 or 8

My DVD drive shows up properly in 8.1, however when I insert a dvd, it does not open autoplay. If I right click and select autoplay, nothing happens. When I right click, it also gives me the option to" read using img burn". If I double click the dvd, " application not found".
How can I get it, to where a dvd will play properly in WMP? I do have WMP set as default for video files.

I have some mp4 files(movies 1080p) that worked fine on Windows 8. Now I have windows 8.1 and my files won't play in WMP, nor the metro version called "media player" and it causes Itunes to crash.
I had win 8, upgrades to preview, then to 8.1

I just decided to turn loose Windows 8 RP on "bare metal" here as opposed to a VM. I didn't even bother to mess with video under a VM, but with the bare metal install, I've run into some trouble.
At first, media player didn't seem to play anything, including .wmv files. Messing around, I unchecked the "Direct X acceleration" box and that allowed it to play .wmv files. However, it still won't play .mp4 files -- no video, just sound, and Media Player will hang trying to exit.
It did this with a clean install with only the Windows supplied video driver. My video card has been obsoleted by AMD now (HD 4200 chipset) and I couldn't use the new Windows 8 preview driver package, but I did try installing the AMD 12.4 driver in Win7 compatibility mode. That worked fine it seems, but it still won't play .mp4 files. Turning the Direct X acceleration back on still kills .wmv playback as well.
Win7, both x64 and 32-bit played .mp4 files fine right out of the box on this machine.

In Win 7 I was able to listen to Pandora and surf the Web at the same time. Now I can do one or the other not both. I saw the place left or right button so both windows are open. However, as soon as I do a new search, Pandora quits.
Just when I thought I was catching on, I find another reason to loathe Win 8!
