Hello guys, I have a few questions, I am also am really sick right now, please excuse my typing.


World of Warcraft for me only gets 30-20 FPS, usually in the 20's. I think I have a pretty good computer too. I don't know how to get you all my specs.

I remember reading something about running "cmd" into the "Run" tab on Windows XP: I was about to do this until a I read a few posts down that this was very dangerous and could destroy your computer. So please forgive me if I don't trust the posts from people I don't know.


Now onto my other questions (since it's impossible to help without knowing my specs)


I have the full version of FRAPS I tried tinkering around with it. I cam across some very old footage I took when I tried the demo. (About a year ago) I was suprised how smooth everything ran. Compared to now, where the sound desyncs alot. And my frame rate drops to 3-5.

This in itself is a big problem, but I have another one, I tried to edit my little clip by just putting some music to it. (In windows Movie Maker) Suddenly the good picture quality became absoulute ****. Just a large mess of pixels. The only thing I am really recording for is too put it on Youtube, so can anyone give me some general tech help with all this?

I did, I don't know my computer specs, so I can't tell if I need to upgrade anything.

Start->Run-> type in dxdiag and post the log that you get. That has your computer specs.

I always thought my computer was up to it, I the only think I changed was added more RAM to it (Well, my father did) Is it time to replace my video card?
