Another idiotic topic in no way related to the first: 3D errors

SuSim:
Well, no wonder! Pull it out of your ass, computers need air circulation!!

Zazazu:
Eh, I used to have 45 minutes with the laptop and just NL, only 130 mb of CC. Not so much anymore. Addison's test account (no cc) does less than a minute. 1.5 minutes from icon to household.

Couple things: you say Pentium 4, but not the speed. What GHz are on that sucker? Go to Start...Run...and type "dxdiag" and enter. Tell us what the central list portion says.

Disable screen saver. Make sure you update both DirectX as well as the drivers on your video card. Your hard drive is a bit small for modern systems, so just to be safe (as this should have nothing to do with the specific situation) run Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter. Both are found under Start...Programs...Accessories...System Tools. Might help with the load chug.

dragonballz:
Lol, SuSim. It's been up there for awhile, but will try.  ;)

Zazazu: That was nifty. Here's what I ended up with:

   Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254)
           Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: INTELR
       System Model: AWRDACPI
               BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
          Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz (2 CPUs)
             Memory: 1536MB RAM
          Page File: 393MB used, 1763MB available
        Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS
    DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
     DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.2180 32bit Unicode

I actually have three hard drives:
C:\ 38.2 GB
F:\ 72.5 GB
G:\ 2.99 GB

So I lied...I have more space than I thought. In fact, I realize there is no info actually STORED on the F drive at the moment. Presumably there's a way to change that?

I updated my graphics card drivers within the past two weeks.

So does my system pass inspection or suck? :b

Twenty minutes!? Good lord.


I used to wait about 30 minutes in my old P IV 2.40 with 1 RAM ....

Solowren:
I'm assuming the Sims was worth the wait.
