Here is the thing on XP SP3 the game ran on my worthless nVidia 8300 GS video card with all the settings one above default and 2x AA at 1680 X 1050. but on Vista SP1 it can't run anything above default.. (if settigs very from person to person then all the textures and stuff one setting above the lowest) It also only says i have 1GB of RAM (3GB actuality)

But it runs chunky. I have it set up to disable visual themes and extras when i play. But it still lags...

EDIT: Okay tried disabling Aero Glass theme(manually not using compatibility), No luck, Turned to Windows Standard nothing, Windows Classic nothing, Still having performance issues with all my RAM not showing up and sluggish gameplay with anything above defaults.

Running game in and out of XP SP2 compatibility mode. Disabling visual themes when playing, disabling desktop composition and running the game as an admin. Still no luck.

downloaded the full version of DX9 from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1A2 393C0-1B2F-428E-BD79-02DF977D17B8&displaylang=en

Still having no luck.

EDIT2: Checked and all my Drivers are up to date. I'm running out of ideas, Anyone who can help me please post.

Well, here's Microsoft's secret. For XP, they recommend at least 256 of RAM, in reality you need at least 512 of RAM to have a decend operating system. With Vista, they recommend 512 of RAM, and in reality you need at least 1024 (1 Gig) of RAM.

My computer:
Vista SP1-
1 Gig RAM-
Intel Pentium Core Duo
3.0 GHZ
And you know what, Vista runs like crap for sometimes. Personally, I just came back to FMC and I haven't installed Fable yet, but when I do, I'll let you know.

Yeah i know all that, But the thing is i have 3GB of RAM but it's only showing on Fable i have 1GB. and i have a 2.6ghz Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+

I KNOW i meet the requirements for Fable (even my worthless Video card does)

But i am getting piss poor performance from it. I mean on windows XP i ran Fable at everything on high 2x AA at 1680 X 1050 Res. ran perfect, no lag what so ever, I could crank it up to 4X AA and only get a little lag when i used Infernal Wrath/Divine Fury

But on Vista i have to run no AA and everything at Medium at 1680 X 1050 resolution in order to have the same result. Even with all visuals from Vista disabled..
