It worked well a month ago, but now...

Hi all:
I'm having a weird problem with PJ64 on Windows XP.
Before this problem, I could play all the playable games almost perfectly, with good framerate. I was using Windows 98.
Now, I've recently installed Windows XP, and I tried to play again with PJ64, with the same plugins and same configuration, but the framerate was going sloooooooow. I've tried many things with the configuration, but I haven't managed to make it work better.
WTF is going on?
My specs are:
-Pentium 4 1700 Mhz
-512 Mb RAM
-ATI Radeon 7500
I think that's enough, saying that it worked perfectly before Windows XP.
Thanks beforehand

I forgot to mention I had already done that :p
But once I've installed it, I get a problem with my monitor (unsoported mode) and I can't do anything else than restarting my computer in SAFE MODE

Latest ATI Radeon plugin
It works now, but PJ64 still doesn't work well

Oh wait, I answered wrong Supergamer's question.
I'm using Jabo's Direct3D6 1.5, Jabo's Direct sound 1.5.
About different Radeon plugins for XP, I've downloaded the ones for Windows XP, so it can't be that

Click to expand...

Yes. Magic! I had an Ati Rage Pro (8mb) and it was running emulation faster than my geforce2 (32mb)!

so from that reply ure sayin u dont no i take it?

i was just playin around wit hte settins in my bios, and thought id see wat would happen if i changed the display from agp to pci, doin that made the emulation alot faster, but the display wasnt as nice as it is on vga. but the thing is that i thought agp is faster than pci??????

im lost? f0sta

VGA ? AGP is faster than PCI, but VGA ? I'm lost, isn't VGA a Video Graphic Adapter - not a mb slot ??

Windows XP has a priority function, try increasing the emu priority ( damn - is this word correct ? 4give me if im wrong ;] i'm not a native english speaker guy ) to high ( or highiest - but this could lock up your machine).

Start the emu
Pres CTRL+ALT+DEL
Goto Proces list ( or sth. dont have eng windows ;] )
R-Click the proces with emu name and change it.

Anyway, I still don't get it to work well (I've tried other plugins and emulators, but they don't work fast...)
