New skin for me, haven't done a lot of this so it will get better hopefully...

Look for 'previous drivers'

Thanks.

The new drivers has slowed down my games too. How do you go back to the older ones? You just re-install them?

And where can I download the 5.11 drivers?

I play in full-screen mode. As I said earlier the problem isn't only with LFS. I tried shutting down everything the programs running in the background but I didn't try the antivirus, so I'm gonna try that. The weird thing is before a week ago LFS ran flawlessly. I didn't change anything on the computer at all, except installing the new patch. If no one else has that problem it can't be the new patch, but it's still weird. What's even more frustrating is the terrible performance I get with the newest ATI drivers, and not only with LFS. I tried installing only the drivers (and not the full Catalyst program, wich I find really annoying). Could that be the problem?

Thank you all for your help

Ok I installed the newest drivers from ATI, and not only did they not solve the problem, they also made the framerate much worse (I used to get about 80-90 in hotlapping mode, and now I get 30). I also tried a demo from another game and had terrible performance as well as the same minimizing problem. This is getting worrying...

The open Internet Explorer is not the problem, it's happened again without an Explorer window open.

I'm getting really frustrated. I'm going to try to re-download and install again the patch Q. I really don't know what else to try....:banghead:

EDIT: Nope, didn't work... Anything else to try?

Nope, I play with a wheel.

Last time it happened I noticed I had an Explorer window opened, I'm going to try to always close it (I sometimes let it open if I need a setup it's quicker). Not sure though...

No, no and no.

It doesn't happen when I press any buttons, I just can't find a reason. I tried shutting down programs running in the background, but the problem was still there. It doesn't seem to happen at a specific moment, it just happens for no apparent reason. I don't remember this happening before I installed the new patch. I guess it's not what's causing the problem, I don't know. Sometimes I can play for an hour without that happening, but it's also happened like 3 times in 20 minutes.

I know I can't pause online and I don't want to, the thing is the game minimizes itself for no reason, during races. By minimizing I meant what the game does when you press alt+esc, I'm just not certain if that's how you say it in english. Anyway, the game does that by itself, and it drives me nuts. That's the problem.

Any ideas?

Since I installed the new patch the game keeps doing what it happens when you press alt+esc during online races. The game does not pause or anything, so when I come back in the game I've crashed. The sound does not stop. It's really annoying, is there any way around this?

Thanks a lot.
