Tip # 1:
Get more
bang out of your
bandwidth
dozens of services running on your
Windows operating
system. These
programs have no respect for your
online play. They
need bandwidth and
system resources just as
much as your online
games. Many of the
programs automatically
startup when you log on to
the net or at the
moment Windows
loads. Cut down on the amount
services running while
Example your
are playing the game in order to
free up bandwidth and resources:
1.
cl!ck on "Start"
2. cl!ck
"Run"
3. Type services.msc
4.
Select "Extended" from the Services
Window to view a detailed
description.
Also note the status of the
service in question.
5. To stop the
service, select "Stop the
service" or right cl!ck the
service,
choose "All task" then cl!ck
"Stop"
6. cl!ck "OK"
Tip #2:
Turn
off your Anti-virus/Anti-spyware
programs during play.
I am sure the
suggestion scares you. But,
these programs are very
taxing on your
computer. Turning them off
during your game play is not
entirely risk
free but you will be
amazed at the results by doing so.
Tip #3:
Making
sure hardware and software can
"communicate"
DirectX is
essential to most next generation Windows
games. High
multimedia
graphics & sound cards require lighting
fast APIs. APIs
provide
the language for hardware and software to
"communicate"
with
each other. make sure that your audio and video
hardware is
properly
configured with Windows DirectX technology by
using DirectX
diagnostics
tools. Here's how:
1. cl!ck "Start"
2.
cl!ck "Run."
3.
Type dxdiag and press enter to load the "Direct X
Diagnostic
Tool"
menu.
4. cl!ck "Display" and "Sound" tabs.
5.
Verify that DX
features are enabled and there are no problems.
Perform
the test
needed.
Tip #4:
Clean and
Organize
your Hard Drive:
defragging helps u cut down on the amount
work
the hard-drive needs to
find files. registry cuts down on the
errors
and will create more free
space for your RAM and CPU to work
more
efficiently.
