Quote: "It leaves lots of fragmented files compared to TuneUp. In fact after using TuneUp I had large tracts of contiguous free space, but after using Windows I still had noticeable fragmentation - and Windows itself still said I needed to defrag even immediately after it had just completed defragging. Hasn't happened since I defragged using TuneUp - and TuneUp is much faster."

Sounds good, I'll take a look at it sometime.

I don't want to pay for a defragger.

Something I do only so very often at will doesn't seem worth money.

I'll look at diskeeper.

Diskeeper isn't free. That's why it's cut-down in Windows.

Just use Windows Defrag. It'll do fine.

I just skipped through some of the posts, but, Zeke Games, are you implying that the game should free its memory when it's not in focus? That would be HORRIBLE memory management if so. It would take forever to reallocated 1.5 gigs of memory, and it's just not practical.

No, I didn't expect it to free the memory. And it actually uses around 700-800 megs.

Anyway, as expected, disabling the virus scanners did nothing.

Do you guys think that re-installing it to the C: versus just moving it would have an effect? I don't think so, but...

Try turning the resolution and colour depth up. For some reason, 1024x768x32 runs at 20FPS higher than 640x480x16 on some games of mine.

I did that before, and it didn't work.
Thanks, though.

A guy at the M+B forums said to lower sound interpolation on DxDiag, but that didn't help.

@ZekeGames
It's worth a shot installing it to the C: drive... I dunno why it's going so slow and can't think of anything really.
