Software examples
Hi,
Commercial software games like Need for Speed, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3 all run fine. It's the independant software that is created from Visual Studio or other such programs. As I mentioned, programs such as Frets on Fire (a Guitar hero clone), Ultrastar (a Singstar clone - yes these are for my kids), Phun (a physics sandbox program) and so on all stutter and stagger and use 50% of the CPU even when idle and minimized.
All I can figure is that Windows 7 is having problems with the Visual C++ Library maybe? I'm not sure how that works...
