    I'd make a guess at cpu bottlenecking. Tis an old game so how many cores does it use out of your six? Still that clock speed should handle it.

    3 out of 6 show some activity. Nothing in the others. The load is 9% so it wouldn't be that. Memory seems fine too using 2gb

    Considering I'm going for Computer Science I'd say I have more than a passing interest.

    And have you tried my above suggestion?

    My mother swears by giving the computer/radio/anything electrical a good smack, seems to cure everything.

    But I also suspect it to be the source of many of the problems :P

    Yeah and it's not any better. Would've expected to work alright since it's the OS from the time it was released.

    I'm only trying it out Corvo. Can't hurt to try things

    Have you tried uninstall, do a registry clean with ccleaner and reinstall?

    And you should have went with SimCity. This will hurt.

    I really have no patience with them. Probably have just as little patience with people haha but I can take all the time in the world when it comes to animals. I have an unbelievable amount of patience when it comes to handling livestock. And being patient with them and not getting frustrated is the whole key to managing cattle properly. Other wise your at nothing

    Yeah, uninstalled it, cleaned the registry, defragged the hard drive and ccleaner too. Reinstalled it and there is no difference.

    I have SimCity 4 Deluxe. Really good but I got bored of having updated mods for it so I moved onto XL. 5 is supposed to be alright but most seem to prefer XL.

    Brilliant I can transition easy.


    I'm not surprised when you see how some carry on. People think that after a few years on a farm the animals would never touch them. Or people who dont have a farm that get too close to bulls/ newly calved cows.

    Course the running of the bulls in spain puts that statistic well up.

    My attitude to horses, cows and large animals in general is they are bigger than me, so I'm saying well back. I'm not afraid, I just don't know how one is supposed to deal with them and I value my life.

    Its a good idea. They do get friendly but a bull dosent and some newly calved cows will kill you for looking twice at their young.

    We have one that actually bites. Its kinda funny but she'd break yer arm if she got ya.
