Preventing Your Game From Crashing (Sucks Right?)

  Hey there, YOU, yes, you. Do you play 3D games that uses 3D engines and having graphic details that are great? You were like playing it, with the 'Piu Piu' sounds and the 'Aarrrggghhhh' screams from the monsters or whatever.

  But suddenly, all of it ended with the screen unmovable and the keyboards and mouse not functioning, occasionally with the sounds still there in looping motion in some games. W.C.S. (Worst Case Scenario, i'll be using this initials more often), the game doesn't support "save game" when halfway through the action, like Harry Potter, Counter Strike and those 1st person mode games. And then you have to restart your computer by force from the main plug or from your CPU, AND restart the level all OVER again. Don't know about you but I never liked that.

  So, to solve that, I have a few ways that works (for me). So, first :

• Make sure of your hardware graphic accelerations are all used. This is not really a tweak but something that is only turned off if you're computer is having graphic problems other than games. So to check this, you follow the...

Steps :
XP :

1. Right click your Desktop > "Properties" > "Settings" > "Advanced" > "Troubleshoot"
2. Make sure the bar is set to "full" ...& done! (for this step)

Vista & 7 :

1. Right click Desktop > 'Personalize'
2. Find 'Display Settings' > 'Settings' > 'Advanced' > 'Troubleshoot'
3. Make sure the bar is set to "full" ...& done! (for this step)

• Set process priority to high. If you are a multitasker, then you would know that multiple processes are choosen to be run first through their priorities. I was suprised when I saw that it was set to "Low". You would have to start your game first to do this.

Steps :

1. Press 'Alt+Tab' to get out of your game to Desktop
2. Press 'Ctrl+Alt+Delete' for Task Manager (right click 'Taskbar' > 'Task Manager' also can)
3. Under 'Applications' tab, Right click on the task with the name of your game > "Go To Process"
4. Right click on that process > "Set Priority" > "High" / "Realtime" ...& done!

Restart your computer. This is just a precaution before you start your game. if you just started your computer to play, then it's fine.
