Mariho:Jake,i was having major problems also, i downloaded Advance System Care, it has all the tweaks u need plus a game mode option ( for internet games ) and a turbo boost i have the latest PRO version i can send you, it's simple, it works, and it's free, reach me @ mariho123@yahoo.ca
Been running the same program for a while. I had some issues that even ASC couldn't help.
After creating the dual boot and learning a bit by comparing the partitions, I learned that my old partition was not recognizing updated video and graphics drivers properly. Place I used to look to see if I was current was actually lying to me. Have that all resolved now and can honestly say this game has certainly made me more computer savvy. Not perfect meter by any stretch but not hitting balls OB like I was.
Also, I figured out why I was getting locked out where game would not load and no box appeared on home page to log in. At someone's suggestion I had disabled 3 party cookies and THAT was preventing game from loading. Even after running Flash uninstaller and installing a new edition, something in Flash was saving that setting. So if anybody ever has that problem please pass that along.
Thanks again to all that have offered suggestions. Off to try and regain my timing that has been thoroughly destroyed.
