If you are experiencing problems with a graphics intensive application (in particular, a game), there is a certain probability that the issue involves graphics problems in either configuration or hardware. One way to “troubleshoot” these type of problems is to run the application in low-res, low-color settings and determine from there if the application is the problem or if your software/hardware configuration is the problem. To do this, right-click the application (or a shortcut to it) and click on the “Compatibility” tab. Select “Run in 256 Colors” and/or “Run in 640X480 Resolution.” Now when you launch the program, it should start in the modes that you selected, allowing you to better determine exactly where an issue derives from.
