compaq presario 5415wm
I have had this computer several years (since new) it will not play a game of any kind. They all stick, sound garbles and vidieo hangs, even games for small children, All windows programs and internet work fine with no problems. pentium 4 1.5 Ghz 40.0 GB hard drive 768 mb ram I have upgraded the sound card and vidieo cards to try to fix this problem, nothing works, any ideas? |

My best guess is that the processor is too slow to handle the demanding
requirements of the games. If that is the case, unfortunately I cannot tell from the meager info on the HP web site whether the processor is a newer Socket 478 or an older Socket 423. A faster processor might do the trick. Also, look at the software setup. Newer games often require a certain version of Microsoft Direct X, depending on which version of Windows is on the system. The computer's memory seems to be adequate. A Disk Cleanup followed by Disk Defragmentation (both in the System Tools under Accessories) might help, too. That's about all I can suggest...
