Memory(RAM): 0.99GB

 

Search button?

This has been asked several times before, have you tried any of these solutions?
I've read that Hardware Acceleration seems to be a big culprit, and I've had to disable it for some games before.

I actually have tried some of them and some of the options i cant find on my computer in control panel and how would i make the priority of the game on high? right clicking it doesnt seem to be able to set its priority neither are there any options to do so other than to change the controls or the size of the display window

 

Vista - XP

I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but I think it goes something like this:
Open the Task Manager with Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Go to Processes and find Cave Story. {Should be something like "Doukustsu.exe". It must be running, too}
Right click the name, and go to "Set Priority" {Or something similar}
Then set it to whatever you want it to be.
You'll have to do this everytime you start it up, I believe.

{I'm just dredging this up from memory, by the way}

just tried it yes your correct thats how you set the priority but no effect on it being in slow motion

 

Next

Did you try turning off Hardware Acceleration? {It's mentioned in that other thread}
I've got a feeling that would help, at least a bit.

dont know where that setting is on my computer cant find it in display or control panel anywhere

 

I should probably should go look up XP stuff

It might be different for you.

Control Panel > Sound and Audio Devices > Speaker Settings - Advanced > Choose "Performance" tap > Set Hardware Acceleration to "None"

How far down this route did you get?

ok found itr set it to normal and it doesn't change the slow mo either about to try to set it all the way at its lowest

 

Low-mo

Normal? Lowest?
What was it set to originally? And can you even turn it off completely? {Because that's what's recommended}

it goes from none to full tried it on all the settings no diffrence then theres an option for sample rate conversion quality tried that on all settings as well no difrence

 

Running out of ideas...

Well, what other solutions did they have...
Did you try running it in the various windowed modes?
Or did you make sure the Power Save {I doubt this is the problem} thing isn't on?

sorry i dont know where to change the power save

 

Heheh

Well, that makes two of us.
I guess try the windows and see if that helps any....
I've got to go, though, so I can't help you until tomorrow.
Sorry =/

fiddled with that allready and thanks

 

do you have your browser open?
if so, close it.

 

Sometimes you will have to close windows or programs. Whenever I have the steam window up, It runs slow until I close it.

 

I don't understand the big deal about lagging here, for me it only lags on the (particularly) epic parts. Is it possible to make a hack where Cave Story ALWAYS lags? I'd like to cheat on sacred grounds.

Well if you use fraps, it actually makes the game run at about 10 frames per second. So you could try that.

i have no other windows open except the folder the game is in
