I always had probs on my laptop due to windows 7,which I still think is a load of tosh!
I have some probs with Amber games, otherwise everything runs great on my xp pc.
Another tip for all who have Winrar,I daily wipe that of its storage as I find it picks up all the crap from the net and does appear to slow down net speed,if not cleared.
On ya comp corel try playing ya slots without using the net at the same time.Reguardless of my dislike to windows 7,I also found the net made the slots run slower.
