Thread: Games are casing in Windows 7.

I Installed Windows vista in my laptop. Right now I am planning to install windows 7 on my system. Everything is working fine but I do not get that how a window 7 lags in gaming. I have installed updated drivers to my Nvdia 8500GT. Some of the games like Counter Strike, Crisis etc which was running without any problem on my windows vista system but since I have upgraded my windows version they are running but it lags so much that there is no mean to play them.

I think you must try to update the display adapter driver which could also be the problem behind your problem. Ensure that you are logged on as an administrator.

1. Go to the Start Menu and open Control Panel then System and Maintenance.

2. Now open Device Manager and type password if it is required.

3. Now choose for the Display adapter in the Device Manager and double-click on the device name.

4. Click on the Driver tab and uninstall it.

5. Reboot the machine let it install the generic drivers.

6. Now you may go to the official web site of Microsoft to update the drivers for the device in which problem keep on.

There are a lot of games which are not supported by the windows 7 but they run absolutely fine with the windows XP and Vista. I think here you would be facing the same problem. I have tried NFS to play on windows 7 but got the same problem as you have, so just changed my OS with the older one that is windows XP.
