Program lagging on my computer

#1 Open task manager and check the currently running processes.

Perhaps TGB didn't shut down all the way the first time.

If that's not it, reboot and see if that helps. If it does then you had something that
ate up a chunk of your available memory. If it doesn't then something else strange
is going on.

#2 Yea I rebooted my computer and it didnt help

#3 Is it the Torque Game Builder application which is giving the problem or is it when you run the fish game demo? If it is when you run the game, then try removing the three big background sprites. You actually do not need to remove them as you can simply uncheck their 'visible' option.

If removing the backgrounds makes the game run smoothly, then I am also curious to know if you are using an Intel integrated video card.

#4 Nvm this I reformatted my computer and everything is working fine now thanks for the help though

#5 This happened to me too, even after rebooting. It wasn't just Torque; it was any program that needed a lot of CPU cycles or memory access -- you know, things like AutoCAD and PaintShop Pro.

I was about ready to wipe and rebuild my HD, until somebody suggested I try a registry cleaner program.
That worked great. Just cleaning out the registry sped up everything on the computer -- and it cut down immensely on the hard disk chatter. I hesitate to endorse any particular registry cleaner program, because there's lots of them out there. The one I finally purchased was Registry Booster, by Uniblue. (You can google for it.) I like it.

#6 Thanks for the reply. I'll keep that program in mind in case it ever happens again.
