I ran into this also Sober. Go to START, RUN and type in regsvr32 shimgvw.dll and you thumbnail pics will display like you had before running this program. Some how this program screws with the windows fax and picture program.

Here's a wild idea:

Start the game, and while in main menu, Alt-Tab and change the process priority to Above Normal from inside Task Manager. Then go back to the game and see if there are any improvements.

Did a quick test, the results are quite impressive.


PS: this thread should get the sticky mark.

Well it might work on your system but on mine it doesnt . I have a small percieved increase in FPS but the time compression grinds to a halt . I think it might have something to do with me having only 1 gig of ram and the rest of the computer gets worse from there . One day i will upgrade and use that beautiful dynamic fog that i asked for and we got

It's true , but how can i launch SH4 and then, automatically switch between normal and above normal priority (without changing it manually each time i launch SH4)?
