New Computer - Jim von Krieg - 02-02-2011

I've replaced my 2005 desktop computer with one put together by my future son-in-law and it's a screamer: i7 w/6G RAM, 1G VRAM, 2x640 Gig Raid array HD, Blue Ray burner and more fans than you can beat with a baseball bat... It glows in the dark and has a gamer's keyboard/mouse...

My biggest concern was the jump from XP to Win 7, 64bit... and Matrix CS made the jump without a glitch... So far it all seems to work even if the replay is a blur... LOL... I need a setting between normal and fast human player...

For all my foes, I owe a few games and will get them punched out today and tomorrow...

Nice ride... and I'm sure you'll dig W7. Finally, a MS product that's moderately stable.

Always good to have a computer expert in the family. Personally, I'm hoping my daughter marries a plumber. I already know computers.

Computer rocks... and no issues so far with Win 7... and the brainiac software engineer is a nice edition...

LOL...

No scrolling issues in the map editor?

Now that you mention it...

There seems to be a little hiccup with display of the map at times when I scroll... but if I move it around a bit it clears up... Seems to occur more near the map edges...

JvK: look no further than here: https://www.theblitz.club/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=57843

I had the map scrolling issue with Map Editor from the beginning. Do as Jason explains, and you should be sorted.

I have a basic HP desktop with W7 64bit and a 24" 16:9 HD screen. Disabling Desktop Composition did the trick for me, nothing else required, not even running the *.exe:s with XP comp mode.

Thanks...

That seems to have resolved the issue... I disabled Desktop Composition for all the exe files in EF and WF...
