Tech help

Okay, I've been poking at this on and off for a while now, and it's got to the point where I'm stumped.

Several of my games are unplayable (examples include Neverwinter Nights 2 and The Witcher (although I don't care so much about the latter, as it wasn't that good).

Whilst the sound is fine, the animation is jerky, and the response to mouse clicks slow. And cut-scenes are a nightmare.

As far as I'm able to tell, all drivers, particularly sound and graphics are up to date, and my DirectX is the latest version I can run on XP.

So, any suggestions/solutions?

It needs defragging again, but since some games are unaffected, I don't think that's it- I'm setting it running before I go anyway.

Ok.

What time are we meeting again? Was it 6? Sorry, my brain is a bit frazzled this morn.

Yep, 6 at the station. And I've now forked out this morning for more credit on my phone, so I can now respond to texts.

And to answer your email, still no idea- unless you have some decent anime I haven't seen?

Have you seen Howls Moving Castle? I can't promise I can get a hold of it in time but I can try.

I do love me some Miyazaki.

I haven't actually seen that one, so if you are able, I'm sure it'd be good.

Cool, I'll try.
