first of all: thx a lot for the suggestions!
now what i did:
1.) firefox - no effect (think even google chrome was working better)
2.) swiched off FW / AV "kamikaze" (no effect)
3.) game quality button (quality went down much more than speed up)
4.) i updated the graphic driver from the manufacturer (i have the feeling there was a small effect)
5.) windows xp - well i guess this is quite a big step (for me especially) - and as i am not sure about the consequences i did not do it until now...
6.) HDD partition should be fine (i bought the computer yesterday) - or i understood u wrong?
7.) and the thing with virtual ram - sorry about my poor comp. skills ???
so:
i guess someone was posting something about also other ways to play it (and some problems that came with it) / but i just can not find the post anymore
any other ideas?
i read in the forum also that one day there shall be a button which is swiching off the animations! THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!
greetings, thx and happy easter,
