Lag on Windows 8 Consumer Preview Playing Microsoft Game
Hi, I have installed windows 8 consumer preview on VMware player and installed a game, the game installed is Microsoft Midtown Madness 2 but it lags to much that makes it unplayable. Its not because its in a virtual machine because i have windows 7 in a VM (Virtual Machine) and it plays the game fine. I have tried installing Game Booster But it make no differance. I have tried all compatibility Modes and 16 bit color mode but no difference. The problem is with older games like CFS1 to.
What should i do, I was really looking forward to windows 8 but this gaming issue has put me off.
Thanks
