Well, it's a lot less demanding than windows 7. 1 GB is the minimum for Windows 7 so the OS uses all of your memory.so using windows XP would fix the problems?

Runescape graphics have changed alot since 7 years ago, and if you are still running old school drivers on an old school graphics card then hopefully this sorts it!will update drivers, ive done everything else on that list years ago
Damn thats heavy.Well, it's a lot less demanding than windows 7. 1 GB is the minimum for Windows 7 so the OS uses all of your memory.
nah, the technician that came 2 years ago updated them.Runescape graphics have changed alot since 7 years ago, and if you are still running old school drivers on an old school graphics card then hopefully this sorts it!
Microsoft security essentials and malwarebytes are what I've been using. There's tons of free anti-virus stuff out there.any free antiviruses?.
Well, if you are switching back to XP, you don't need to clean it up unless you are making it dual boot.Damn thats heavy.
So basically
clean up and uninstall shit
update graphics drivers
call technician to switch to windows xp
Microsoft officially ends support of Windows XP in less than a year, at which point it will be considered unsafe to have the Operating System on your computer no matter what. When support ends, any security whole found in the Operating System will not get fixed, and just stay there forever.Damn thats heavy.

I believe Runescape, like most of those old browser games, requires Java. An MMO + Java (the most exploited major web technology since Adobe Flash) = extremely unsafe.LtLuthor. Thats true, but security is not much of an issue when you only use XP for a single game.
That being said, Qwark28: I really recommend upgrading the RAM, it would make win 7 overall performance sooo much better and saves you a lot of hassle. Your gonna hate rebooting your pc everytime you want to play Runescape. ^_^
True, but that's not relevant to the OS.I believe Runescape, like most of those old browser games, requires Java. An MMO + Java (the most exploited major web technology since Adobe Flash) = extremely unsafe.
It is actually. On any platform, having Java is equally easy to exploit, regardless of OS- but for Linux, the advantage is once someone breaks in, they still can't do anything. On Windows 7, once your in, everythings vulnerable.True, but that's not relevant to the OS.
how much would it cost and how do i find out if i have 32 bit or not? i remmeber having 64RAM is your most likely problem, man. Straight up. Solid state memory gets corrupted over time, ECC can only do do much to correct the errors as they happen. You might not need to upgrade, but need to replace it at the very least. Although I would suggest kicking it up to 4GB if you have the funds. ( not cheap if you're using DDR2). Anything more is useless if you're using a 32 bit OS.
Backing up and reloading your OS would probably help a bit as well. It's s good practice to adopt every year or so.
I was just throwing that bit of info out there. If you have a 64bit windows OS, you're fine for however much RAM you want.how much would it cost and how do i find out if i have 32 bit or not? i remmeber having 64
That's what I meant. Makes no difference if XP or 7. I left Linux out of the equation by default. I know Qwark is not that fluent with computers.On Windows 7, once your in, everythings vulnerable.
