Would reformating for this problem help?

Kreativity · 05-12-2008, 02:46 PM

Well to start off I bought this computer close to a year ago. It ran great for about 5-7 months on GunZ, then ijji made a usual update and screwed the connection up so almost everyone on GunZ had some lag issue. My issue was my screen after the update my screen lagged often where I went from a small area of a map to a bigger more open area of the map and I had never had any screen problems before. Then ijji tried to fix it it worked well for the day and the day after they tried to fix it. Then it went back to the same screen problems.

Now I have tried archetypes which I currently use, but they really don't make much of a difference. A couple of my friends said reformating could help so I would like to ask your opinions about this.

And you don't think I've tried that?

The only thing I understand from what I read is about your devices such as routers and printers.

I can't think of any reason reformatting would not fix the problem. Eh there’s a couple ways to update drivers but they kind of depend on what video card you have (ATI, NVIDIA, onboard) one way would be by going to: start, right click on my computer, manage, device manager, right click on your video card, update driver software, browse my computer for driver software. If that doesn’t work then go to add/remove programs and uninstall the current driver, restart and install the new driver. Although, I recomend just reformatting.
