Frame rate is extremely slow...?

Inseno · 05-20-2002, 01:51 PM

My frame rate is extemely slow. I'm waiting to register until I can correct the problem. I've tried changing to 16 bit, 32 bit, everything under the sun, it doesn't help. Here is a description of my system.

Compaq Deskpro EN
Windows 2000
Pentium 3
DirectX 8.1

Please help...

"DeskPro EN" is not specific enough. There are dozens of models from Compaq that match this description.

Please post a much more detailed listing of your components (especially your video card name and model!), or the EXACT model number of computer you have so I can look it up on HPCompaq's website.

The most likely problem is the wrong video driver is installed. As soon as you post again, we'll be able to suggest the right video driver, where to get it, and help with any other support issues.

Welcome to the forum!

Here is some information, I don't know how helpful it'll be. If not let me know where I can go to get what you need. These numbers are pulled right off of a sticker on the harddrive.

Thanks for you fast response on my prior post...!

On the hard drive?

Isn't there a sticker on the back of the tower?

Is it a tower or desktop?

Here we go, try this...

This was on the back of the tower...

What's the chance you can come in the chatroom?

The Deskpro EN can describe ~20 models. Plus, it was a customizable system. I just read through the specifications and there are at least 5 different video cards that could have been installed.

Inseno · 05-20-2002, 02:27 PM

It doesn't look like it's going to let me in, possibly b/c I'm at work.

Inseno · 05-20-2002, 02:29 PM

Is there any way I can go into "My Computer" to find out which card I have...? I really appreciate all of your help so far, thanks again..

You should be able to look under hardware profiles and display adapters and find out what video card you are running

feldon34 · 05-20-2002, 02:46 PM

Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panels -> System ->

On Windows 2000/XP

Click the Hardware tab at the top, and click the Device Manager button. Fold down the 'Display Adapters' branch and see what it says.

On Windows 95/98/ME

Click the Device Manager tab at the top.

Fold down the 'Display Adapters' branch and see what it says.
