On Windows XP, there are often problems associated with too slow operation of games based on the VIA chipset. Slowing down reduces the user's enjoyment of the game, wastes your time, and also wastes computer resources. In this article, you will find out the possible causes of the slowdown problem in games and how to increase their speed.
Instructions
Step 1
The simplest conclusion that can be drawn from the slow operation of games is incorrectly installed drivers. Go to My Computer and open Device Manager. Find the line "Via CPU to AGP Controller" there. If this line is present, then the drivers are installed correctly. If it is not there, the driver was clearly installed incorrectly, did not penetrate into the system, and it needs to be rearranged.
Step 2
Search online and download the new Via 4-in-1 driver set. Make sure your drivers are up to date.
Right-click on the Setup.exe application and bring up the context menu. Click Properties and Compatibility. A window will open in which you will find the compatibility mode setting.
Step 3
Specify in the settings that the program should be run in the compatibility mode with Windows 2000, which can be selected from the list of operating systems. Click OK and restart setup.exe.
Install the drivers, then restart your computer and check if the new drivers have been integrated into Device Manager.
Step 4
Try launching a game that used to run slower than usual and see if it speeds up. If there is no acceleration, try to contact the game's technical support or register on the forum, where game users solve the most common problems with each other, including speed. Perhaps the forum users will offer you an original way out of the situation, suitable only for a specific game and found out experimentally.
