Making EB Run Faster - A Guide

Warning!!!! If you are not real sure about what to disable, don't do it. I am not the most computer literate person but when I followed these instructions I messed up my internet connections and it took me over an hour to repair. Be careful to what you disable. By the way my computer did lag a bit when in battles and when I disabled the background programs it did run much more smoothly so these instructions do work just be careful on what programs you disable.

I think that you may have clicked "disconnect" on the icon in the system tray. A simple restart would have fixed that.

Just a quick line as I have used several of your tips and Deep Thought does appear to be bit leaner, faster and meaner, even if it's still a pile of obsolete junk.

Many thanks.

A question that you might help me with...

When I try to run EB it almost completes loading the game, then CTD with a message saying that video memory is too low. What to do?

Thanks, Palle

1) MSB, previously known as ALBM, seems to be no longer posting on these forums.
2) I think the trick of pezhetairoi is worth a try. Also, consider giving the Guid a very close read, since you appear to have insufficient RAM to make up for the Video Memory issue. (Most likely: your so-called Video Memory is in fact RAM - in other words your Graphics card is something with Hyper/Shared or Allocated memory.)

Thanks, and yes, I sold my nifty laptop as part of getting enough money to save my GF's life from hired killers of her ex[1].

I already tried that trick extending the paging size of my own accord, it made no difference.

The video memory is RAM used as storage, at least the error message says something like that.

Thanks

[note 1], it was a hoax to con me out of my money, she knew I would go to any length to save her and is now no longer my GF, cost me appr. Euro 14.000 :-(

I remember back in the day, when Aulus Britanicus and I were the two biggest fans of EB when there were few common forum-goers. Way back in the v0.74 days.

That's messed up!
