    problems with xp and sm?

    does anyone have winxp and stepmania on their comp? coz my stepmania is really really slow and i think its because of winxp and i'm wondering if anyone has the same problem...

        CPU doesnt coun as 'specs' in the best of times - but Stepmania isnt CPU intensive... I think your main issue would be graphics in which case theres alot you can do:

        In graphc options:
        Set colour mode to 16bit
        Set all detail levels to 256 or 512 not 1024
        Set resolution to 1024 or lower
        Set Refresh rate to 60 Hz (if possible)

        With these settings Stepmania runs at full speed with BGanimationsd AND/O visualisations on even my meager GeForce 2 64meg and YES I do have WinXP

        FYI: MY full stats

        CPU P4 19.6 GHz
        MB: 4x Data threading port 378
        Memory: DDR SDRAM 133 - 256meg
        Graphics Card: nVIDIA chipset GeForce 2 MMX440 - g4meg
        OS: WinXP Home Build 5.0.0.2600 ( I THINK NOT CHECKING FOR SURE)

        IE My system was top of the range this time last year... lol
        the graphics are the worst part of that setup tho, and what i sed works fine

          Actually, you would just set it to go to the highest refresh possible (MAX in the settings)

          I run a 1.4 Ghz Athlon
          Geforce2
          320 MB RAM

          and i get somewhere around 60 frames per second in windowed mode (which i like better than full-screen) and 100 fps in full screen.
