"Stuttering"

Cyrus7

After a few minutes of normal gameplay TOMI 5 begins to "stutter": the cursor needs a few seconds to move after the mouse, the subtitles are coming out too slow, the cutscenes play frame by frame. Then after a few minutes it becomes normal again, and so on.
TOMI 4 had the same problem. What kind of technical problem is it?

Sounds like it could be something related to your system. Let's start by turning off all of your other programs and see if that helps anything. You might want to disconnect yourself from the internet before you attempt this, in case we turn off any security software.

To Boot Clean in Windows XP

1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG --> Click OK
2. On the General tab, choose Selective Startup
3. Uncheck Process SYSTEM.INI file
4. Uncheck Process WIN.INI file
5. Uncheck Load Startup Items
6. Click on the Services tab
7. At the bottom, check Hide All Microsoft Services
8. Uncheck all boxes in the window or click the button labeled Disable All
6. Click OK
7. Click Restart
8. After reboot, run game to see if it works without the hitching.

After performing the necessary steps, restore your system by doing the following:

1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG--> Click OK
2. On the General tab, choose Normal Startup
3. Click OK
4. Click YES, when asked to restart your computer


If that solves the problem, then one of your other programs running is choking your computer. The trick is then to track down and see which one it is.
