Re: Game Problem: CPU Speed



You told us about your memory but nothing about the cpu you have installed.
Is at AMD or Intel and what type and speed.

Thanks for helping me.
I recently bought Shogun Total War: Warlord Edition and after installing
evrything when I tried to play it a little brief loading box comes up,
then
after a few seconds it goes and then: nothing. i ran this program which
came
with it that analyzed your system for compatibility and it said my CPu
speed
is the problem.
The game needs something like 230 MHz but it says mine is minus 1295 Mhz.
Surely this cant be right.

I tried re-installing and rebooting but nothing. But when I check on
system
properties it says my speed should be 3 gigaHerz!
My computer is Xp Home with 1 GB RAM. I checked on task manager and when I
try to run the game the process pops up at about 6 kb and then just
vanishes.

if this helps, according to task manager my available physical mem is
530000
and commit charge 427m/2465m. And my C drive has 78% free space. Theonly
thing I can think of is I recently got broadband. Maybe a program is using
this to connect and take up all load of threads. Anyway, if you can it'd
be
fantastic.
Thanks
Will
