i recently made a main menu for my game but it slows down my game to about 20 frames per second, but if i just skip to my game and leave the main menu out i get my desired 60 frames per second.

the menu system uses 2 sprites, sprite 2 is the background image and sprite 1 is for which option is selected. my code is

i cant figure out why when it goes to my game loop it is slows it to 20 frames per second

You do not need to set the image to a sprite in every loop. Once a sprite, always a sprite. Well kinda... This would the two lines I refer to:

The main menu system works fine its just when i go to my main loop for my game it is slowed to 20 fps if i have it run the main menu first. If I dont run the man menu first and just go to the main game loop I get 60 fps, which makes me think that when the program moves to the main loop it isint removing the sprites or something. thanks for trying to help.

Turn backsave off before you return to the game, somtimes it stays on after the sprites are deleted.
Or just don't turn the backsave on in the first place you proberly don't need it for a menu.

Thanks!
I turned on backsave because I was gonna fade the sprites out to reveal the game. Fading the 1024x768 spite was to laggy and wasnt worth it so I removed the fading but frogot about backsaving. I knew it was something that got changed for the menu but didnt change back when it went to the main game loop.
