Hello
I'm working on a Gigapro system, its a C-3 CPU at 667MHz. Onboard everything with 8MB AGP Video. Trying to run a scrabble game, the system freezes for 10-25 seconds and then continues playing for 10-60 seconds and freezes again, regularily. Ialso on occasion get the blue scrren of death, fatal errors ect. Does anyone have any ideas? Ive tried numerous troubleshooting technics with no luck. This is the only game my customer plays and i cant find anything on the net for that game. I wouldnt be all that concerned about one game except for the other freezes and error mesages she gets. Thanks in advance for any help.

First open the resource meter and list here what readings you have for System, User, & GDI Resources both when the puter is idle & when the game is opened & running, for me please.

Are all unnecessary programs shut down when the game is being played? Close all except the game, Explorer & Systray.

I guess I should ask what OS you are running & how much RAM is in the system? What screen resolution settings & how many colors is display set for? Is the game made for the OS you are using? And have you tried un-installing the game, cleaning up the registry of (=No Value) entries from previous un-installs & then re-installing the game properly w/ all programs shut down EXCEPT Explorer?(Many users install software w/ AV and other programs running and it really messes up the software files including doing a real job on the OS. Also check the software requirements to see the minimum requirements as far as hardware, might need a higher mem video card in that system to run the game or more RAM.

As soon as you list those items I'll try to help.
