   Dodgy FPS After Reinstall
  Hey all,I've been developing a game for a while using OpenGL and Visual Basic 6, on Windows XP SP2. However, I've recently had problems with my computer.I recently formatted my harddrive and installed MS Windows XP MCE, SP2. Before I did this I was getting framerates of about 80 (not brilliant) but now I'm only getting a framerate of about 3-4. I'm assuming that MCE doesn't have the most up-to-date OpenGL drivers for my Graphics Card.I therefore decided to download the latest drivers for my ATi Radeon X9200, however during the installation it comes up with an error saying that there's no original driver, try using a standard VGA driver and try reinstalling. This is causing great frustration as I cannot continue to develop my game with framerates so slow.I know it's only on my computer because I use my Uni's computers I get a framerate of a couple of hundred.Please help!!AndyP.S. I love my girlfriend   
  The reason it's going so slow is because you don't have an OpenGL driver installed and the computer is relying on the reference (software) driver that Microsoft provides to do the work. If no OpenGL driver is found, the reference driver calculates everything on the CPU hence the bad performance.   ;  uninstall whatever graphics drivers u have + rebootwinxp should startup in 640x480 with the stanadrda vga driver very slowthen install the radeon driver u downloaded from the ati sitereboot;  Thanks for your fast replies guys. I'll give it a go and see how it goes.Many Thanks   ;  I've had similar problems with new video cards, they also have happened when there's a software bug of some sort (new game, etc.).The solution is to uninstall your video card driver, reboot, install the newest drivers from the manufacturer's website, reboot again, and reset your display settings (resolution, refresh rate, etc.) in the Display Properties control panel applet.   ;  Hey guysI got home this evening and tried deleting the driver and rebooting etc, got exactly the same problem. I can't seem to get it too fix install the latest drivers.Any more suggestions?   ;  What version of ATI drivers did you get?  Some of the latest drivers dropped support for the 9200 instructing you do download one of the older version.
