    Vista woes? BEGONE!

    This is only for people who have upgraded to vista
    Do you have windows vista? Are you considering quitting ffr because your PA is terrible? Do you feel that it is not your fault? Would you like for me to fix it?

    All good questions and hopefully be the end of this your problems will be gone forever. Now, the route of the vista lag problem is sooooooo so so so so simple that it LITERALLY took me 5 seconds to look up a fix (lol google).

    The problem is your keyboard driver, not vista. Vista is a very good system and has few flaws which impair the proper functioning of ffr. The driver problem is no one's fault but the computer retailer's (or who ever setup vista on our computer, for more information see the link at the bottom of this post).

    Anyway on to the solution:

    STEP 1:
    System restore

    Make sure this is turned on and you have all your data backed up. If you **** the next steps up, it is Not my fault. Back up your damn data. If you don't know how to do this, then don't even bother trying the next steps.

    STEP 2:
    registry editing

    Ok go to your start menu, open up Run. Type in this word exactly without quotes, "regedit".

    STEP 3:

    once registry editor is open, click the plus sign beside the word HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Then click the plus sign beside the word SYSTEM. Then click the plus sign beside the word CurrentControlSet. Then click the plus sign beside the word Services. Then again beside the word i8042prt. Then click on parameters. This is all done in the SIDE window.

    STEP 4:

    on the right hand window you should see several words with numbers beside them. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BESIDES WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU!
    Look for PollStatusIterations, click it and a small window should popup.

    STEP 5:

    The window should be labeled Edit DWORD Value. inside it there should be the name of the DWORD and a text box with a hexidecimal value in it. Beside the text box should be 2 dot checks for hex and decimal. check decimal and enter the Value of 1 into the text box. Close everything and reboot your system.

    EDIT: quick fix, if you don't have a PollStatusIterations DWORD then make one and follow the steps

    That is it, thank you.

    Source of information:


    refer to that link for more details as to why you lag and for more help.
    If you feel i have left out crucial information then please do not hesitate to let me know and i will amend this document.

    Or you could be smart and use Linux/Kubuntu which is faster, uses less space (OS), free, close to impossible to get spyware/viruses (In tests the worst virus that was obtained was one that changed the time, lmao), and looks pretty. =P

    Good guide anyways, don't see why people use Vista though. It's expensive and not worth it.

                Hardly anybody (INCLUDING people who don't belong to internet communities) knows what the hell Unbuntu or even what Linux is. Plus if your not very computer savvy I'm sure people wouldn't want to have to download all sorts of things just to do what they could do with Vista.

                  what i was referring to is the speed of your solution, downgrade verse simple registry edit plus reboot. serveral hours verses several minutes. therefore i win.

                      Also android. You could export the registry file, and make it available to people.

                        Re: Vista woes? BEGONE!

                        i think a confirmation on the validity of my walk-through would be better before this thread is stickied, just to be sure since i don't have vista and can't verify this myself. Although im fairly confident in my findings :/

                        EDIT: Zag the edit is literally inserting a 1 where there was none before, no need for a reg file to be posted.

                              Kubuntu takes 20 minutes to install, hahah. Unlike Windows.

                              Anyways I was just saying it's better in the long-term, as a lot of people end up having to reformat their computers for dumb reasons. =P

                              Oh wellll.

                              EDIT: fido123, you only have to download like 5 things, everything else updates when you go into the Adept Package Manager! Firefox, Cedaga/Wine, aMSN .. actually, that's all you need if all you do is chat/play FFR and SM. Kopete, Konqueror, and many other functions are already included. =)

                              Sorry for going off-topic, didn't realize where I posting this until I finished. O.o
