1. Does your computer meet the game's system requirements? Usually the
minimum system requirements listed will be inadequate.
2. Did you install the latest driver updates for your graphics and sound
cards? Get the drivers from:
a. The card mftr.'s website; OR
b. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
c. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).
3. Did you install any patches for the game from the game mftr.'s
website?
4. Depending on your computer's specs, many games require you to have
the minimum of other programs/processes running in the background. Is
your computer's startup optimized?
5. Don't forget to check on the game mftr.'s website for known issues,
tech support, and user forums.
