Let's get some specs on you system. I have 7, and have been running FoFix pretty well for about a month. The only major trouble I had at first was needing to roll back my graphics drivers.

Still. We can't answer unless you give some specs.

im pretty shure 7 updates for you

7 does update for you. In fact, it installed some drivers that a fresh XP install would miss. Trouble is, it did too good of a job. The newest graphics drivers would not let me run any games (FoF, Tribes 2, etc.). I had to use Intel's update page to find the appropriate drivers, roll them back, and I was money.

I had exactly the same problem on windows 7 with my GMA 950. Basically the drivers it installed from device manager had terrible OpenGL performance. Installing the latest Vista drivers in compatibility mode sorted it :) However, don't ever use XP drivers (I learnt that the hard way :P )

Try installing the Vista drivers for your video card.

I administer a lab of computers with identical hardware, some of which are running Vista, and some of which are running 7, with only stock drivers on each. I tried running FoFiX on some Vista machines and some 7 machines, and under Vista, FoFiX works nicely, while under 7, FoFiX lags horribly, but Direct3D-based games work just fine. Many of the stock video drivers in 7, which otherwise work, appear to have great trouble with OpenGL.

Though I was using FoFiX, I'm sure the same would have happened no matter what mod I tried.

yep fixed i got no more lag again thx guyz

Glad to help another Win7 early adopter anytime. If you could please post some details about the model of your graphics card, and the particular file/s you used to remedy the problem that would be awesome. I expect another round of 7 compatibility issues if and when the RC7 drops in a couple of weeks, and it's always nice to have threads with detailed fixes.

where can I dowload that driver ?? plese give the link, Iam afarid download wrong driver ...

The driver(s) you need depend on which video card you have in your computer. There's a nice guide on how to find, download, and update your drivers here. Just ignore the parts that say things about Tribal Trouble, that's specific for a different game.
