Help plz... sandbox lags in Windows 7

[Leo_V117]

what do you mean by wonderfully?

Does it close randomly?
Does it lag?

whats your secret? What are the statistics of your computer?

[GR1M]

Some of the main problems that could of caused this is not up to date drivers are not having a decent graphics card to run PAS.

It never closes on me, though sometimes when I'm in a huge map, it will lag a little bit.

Not really sure what you mean by "secret". It just works fine.

Not entirely sure what you're looking for, but I hope it was all listed above.

[Leo_V117]

Thanks. Next time. ill get vista then upgrade.

[Obsidian]

Won't matter if you upgrade or have 7 installed by default; it's about the drivers you're running and their support for openGL.

It seems that there's a few Win7 drivers out there that have terrible support for opengl, for some reason.

[Leo_V117]

You would have expected them to fix those problems. Anyway. I use windows 7, and im using EXACTLY the same drivers as i was using on XP, only difference is its win 7 and i hav a dual thread Dual core, rather than a single thread dual core. I was using single thread on XP and it was working fine. I wonder if its that.

[GR1M]

Will windows 7 have the drives fixed any time soon, because I'm going to be purchasing a new computer with windows 7.

Gr1m

[Leo_V117]

Yeah, hopefully, im gonna see if i can email microsoft and see if they can fix it. Why dont we all make a post with all the problems were experiencing with Win 7?

[GR1M]

Hopefully it will be sorted out when i get my computer.

[Leo_V117]

Probably, yet again, according to my dad, and hes a techy, i could get Windows Virtual Machine and run PAS on that, in XP mode. It should work.
