[How To] A guide to fixing vista issues.

Giving you the model number wasn't good enough eh? (that screen above doesn't actually have the last 5 digits) I'm very sure you can get better specifics if you looked up the model number online.

I managed to find a "compromise" between me and my computer so now I can play windows mode with relatively no l4g. Yay! It does not prevent the glitch entirely though >_>

*dramatic half sorrowful voice* KajitiSouls, your laptop is crying out to you. It weeps as its forced to handle many tasks at once. The pain!!! The suffering!!!

Okay okay that's enough. But seriously, you're laptop is getting overworked when you play MS. A single core processor (or even a slow duo core processor) and 1 gig of ram can mean trouble for computers running vista. The fallback would be having a great graphics card. However, I looked at entire list of specs based off of the model number and it seems you're looking at a non-gamer's computer.

Let's fix that shall we? :3

First off let's get you some extra RAM, the nonpaying way :3

Hopefully you have an extra 4 gigs of hard disk space on your laptop you wont miss. One great solution to your lack of RAM is to allocate some harddisk space to act as RAM.


[SPOILER=Here's how we do it:]
1)Start Menu

2)Control Panel

3)Make sure you view the control panel in "Classic View" found on the left.

4)Performance Information & Tools

5)Where is says "Tasks" on the left. Locate and click on "Advanced Tools"

6)Click on "Adjust the appearance and performance of windows"

7)Click on the "Advanced" tab.

8)In the "Virtual Memory" section, click on "Change"

9)At the bottom of the pop up you'll see "Total paging file size for all drives" Take note of the number next to the word "Recommended". We'll use my number as an example: 1519mb.

10)Make sure that the top box is unchecked. "Automatically manage paging file..."

11)Below that, make sure that the option for "custom size" is the one filled in.

12)For "Initial size (MB)" Take your earlier recommended number and double it and type it in there. In my case, I typed in "3000" <- note I didn't put "mb" in there, just the number. For the "maximum size" option, triple your recommended number... "4500" is what I put in.

13)Please note that this amount is going to be removed from your current remaining harddisk space, so you'll be losing out on about 5 gigs of storage. But, you get free ram, sort of.

14)Make sure you hit ok. :3

Or, you could just go out and buy some better RAM for your comp. And the graphics card isn't too hot either, but hopefully that wont be too bad of an issue.
