• Games Fast-Forward While Trying to Play
    11 replies, posted
Title says it all, and to be honest that's the best way I can explain it. My games fast-forward, they go TOO fast, and I have to restart my computer just to get it back to normal, and it only works for a while. This doesn't happen for source games, but for pretty much every other game. My current graphics card is an ATI Radeon 4870 HD, and all my drivers are up to date.
Specs?
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (Build Service Pack 32600) Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 4870 Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA785G-UD3H AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard Ram: A-DATA 4GB If that helps
Forgot: Also, what games this happen on?
Turn off dual-core in task manager.
It means that its too fast.
Clarification: When the game is booted, go to Task Manager, right click on the .exe, remove one processor from the options
I'll try that, Thund3rdome. [editline]07:55PM[/editline] Holy shit it actually worked, thanks a lot. [editline]07:58PM[/editline] This could become a hassle though, is there anyway to set games to use only one processor? So that I don't have to keep opening the task manager?

Yeah, but that makes it so that the WHOLE COMPUTER uses only 1 core and won\t use the 2nd one for anything.
No it uses 1 core for the windows OS and the other core(s) are available for use.
[QUOTE=Unreliable;19078491]No it uses 1 core for the windows OS and the other core(s) are available for use.[/QUOTE] No, windows detects and uses 1 core, and the others are disabled since Windows detects only one core and allows only it to be used.
