Please try answer this for me!!!

Hey i need wee bit of help,i have had many saved games on my laptop but now its just down to my incredible west ham challenge and its going amazing but one thing ive noticed is that im just into my 4th season and one problem i am having is that when i use the match commentary thing where it only shows me key points of the game its runnign really slow,it wasnt doing this 4 days ago,no new installs on my laptop since then etc and im not running and other programms at the time of playing except msn and internet page.

can anyone help as its really annoying,thanks

The longer your game proggreses, the more results etc there are to store and proccess , so it is inevitable that you game will run slower.

Hope this helps.

The only time mine has ever done that is if my anti virus is currently scanning my pc if it's not that for you then i'm not sure.

i thought this at first but...i had a previous game where i was man city in my 8th season and it didnt run slow at all so i think it may be summit else,no anti virus system running either...any more ideas??

thanks tho

What are the specs of your laptop/pc ?

Definitely sounds like something is running somewhere and taking up processing power, have you checked if anything at all is running in the background?

Open up windows task manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL) to check if there is anything else running .

right ok and what will i be looking for etc if somethings running and how do i know if its big enuf to be causign the issue?

cheers

check the numbers and compare them with those of FM08 .

You should see a list and it'll show how much processing power is being used in % by any processes running, you'll soon see if something is amiss.

ok ill get back to ya,at work the now but will be home aroun 3.

thanks dude,keep an eye on post so ya can help me later lol

Have a look in processes and disable as many of these as you can. Don't touch the ones called svchost.exe though or you might find that your computer suddenly reboots. If you don't want to open up the task manager then have a look at the bottom right of your screen and see how many icons there are. If theres quite a few then right click on each one and see if there is an option to stop or disable this item.

It would be really helpful if you can tell us how much ram and what type and speed of processor you have. You can get this information by right clicking on the my computer icon and selecting properties. Take note of what it says and tell us. Finally, how many leagues are you running?

If you're running the internet, it's possible your system is infected with spyware or malware.

download and run spybot.

right here some info if that helps

2038 mb ram

intel processor 1.60ghz

running about 30 leagues intotal but have done this many before on my 8 year game but it didnt do what its doing now

msg back soon

ta

You didnt just lower the match/highlight speed by accident?

lol noooooooooooooooooooooo

help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

As said before

Ctrl+Alt+Del and open task manager

Options and tick 'Always On Top'

Click the Processes tab

Click the CPU column to sort in order of most used

If there is no CPU column go View > Select Columns and tick the CPU Usage box

Open FM and go to play a match

When it starts stuttering look at task manager and see if something else is using the CPU at the same time as FM

If you want maximise Task manager, sort by CPU, take a screenshot and upload it to imageshack.

Have you looked in task manager to see what processes are running?

yeh it all seems fine,cant figure it out?

taskmgr.exe says cpu 4

cpu usage history says 8 percent roughly

please try help peeps

As computers get older their components lose integrity/efficiency (processor, FAN etc..), especially if you leave your computer on for long periods of time.

Another likely cause is a virus, so update your diagnostics and scan, then scan again.

Also try and look at the processer usage WHILE playing FM, if it spikes during processing results then its probably because you have so many leagues running (do you have them all on full detail?), also remember the longer the game goes on the more data has to be stored/retrieved so the game will slow down as you play long term games.

Edit: another simple way of improving processing speed, is to defragment your hard drive, this puts all the data you have currently on your harddrive closer together. I don't know how to do this on Vista (my current OS) and can't remember the path on XP but I'm sure you cna find out with a quick google search.

Not sure if this helps but many load / processing problems with games can be fixed if you put system's "paging" to a HDD that is empty or simply has more space

My Computer / Advanced / Performance / Settings / Advanced / Virtual Memory/Change

Is windows defender scanning?

Or has Disc De-fragmenter started a scheduled scan?

I have no idea what this means LOL
