Horntail Specs

I doubt it's the processor <_< think you guys are ignoring the graphics card.

have you tried to run again? maybe that very first run was just an unlucky run and caused you to dc for whatever reason; because everyone already said that your processor, internet speed, and memory is enough. you can also try doing the basic boss procedure of restarting, close all unnecessary programs, and turn down picture quality to lowest.

That was my first run ever.
I had all programs off including explorer.exe
Nothing except the following:

alg.exe
csrss.exe
ctfmon.exe
lsass.exe
services.exe
smss.exe
svchost.exe (x4)
System
System Idle Process
wdfmgr.exe
winlogon.exe

Basically, only the essential programs that I can't stop.

I had my quality turned down to the LOWEST. I had my sound, bgm, HP/MP pot warnings, and monster HP on, but I doubt that's the problem.

And they said my processor speed wasn't enough... although I don't know anymore. >.>

How do you check what kind of graphics card you have?

We already know what type of Graphics Card you're using. You're using a lame little SiS Chip which is basically integrated graphics. In other words, your graphics card stinks.

I'd invest in a decent Graphics Card for a start. It'll cost you around $70 for a decent one, and remember that Maplestory isn't the only thing you're getting the Graphics Card for. With a good Graphics Card, you'll be able to play a lot of games better, so you'll be ready whenever you decide to quit Maple.

I just searched Newegg, and found this little jewel. It's probably the best graphics card you can get without spending a lot of money. You'll even be able to get DirectX 10 on that. And 512MB memory? Sign me up for that.

Oh, and I have a question for you. Are you able to handle the lag in the Channel 1 Free Market?

Yes. I can handle everything except for Zakum (I get lag spikes, but nothing too serious). And obviously, I can't handle Horntail.

BTW, I can't get a graphics card that is worth that much. I'm still a kid with no allowance. My only option for making money is to save the $3 that my parents give me every day for lunch.

So the graphics card and the processors the only problem?

I think the graphics card is more to blame than the processor.

About what you downloaded, would it be possible for you to do a System Restore to before you downloaded it? That may help get rid that weird process. (I think the liutilities.com website may have been an ad. )

Then I'd lose everything I did from yesterday to today.

The only weird process is mscorsvw.exe
Someone with experience please tell me how to stop it from running. Thanks.

It's nothing to worry about (the process, that is). I'm 99% sure it's your graphics card if you lag at Zak and HT, the two biggest graphics-related issues in maple. CH1 FME is a processor/internet thing, I think, because it's retrieving all the text boxes/char names/movement.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127241 <-might be a better buy, it's only thirty bucks but it's a lot more than what you've got, not quite the above link though. If your parents won't lend you thirty bucks, you're just gonna have to stop HT/Zak for a bit.

And by lag spikes, is it the kind of lag where you can move around but can't see anyone else moving/anyone else doing damage or is the kind of lag where your screen freezes? The former is usually internet issues, the latter is processor/graphics card.

Ooo, 30 bucks is within my wallet. xD
Thanks!

And it's the latter. The screen freezes for a few seconds, and then all of a sudden, it either refreshes, or it starts showing players attacking in super fast speed and then sinks back into the original speed.

How much will it cost me to upgrade then?

Just buy a new computer lol
you can get a desktop with windows vista with a quad core processor and 6 gigs of RAM for under 700$
