The display tab would show the most pertinent information regarding your problem, but judging by the CPU/Ram I'd guess your graphics hardware is below spec.

 

[squall_leonhart]

i sense intel extreme graphics. 865 probably.

 

[freelanc3r]

so there is nothing i can do?

 

[Toasty]

We can't say for certain unless you post your graphics specs. (Like Allnatural said, the Display tab of the DX diagnostic would have more pertinent information.) If it's the result of your graphics card not meeting the required specs, you may be able to solve the problem with a new graphics card.

You can try downloading the direct3D HAL graphics plug in.

That's what I use and my Ocarina of Time runs very smoothly. Beat it with no problems at all

There is no such thing as "the Direct3D HAL" plugin, and if you are referring to Jabo's Direct3D plugins, one doesn't have to download those.

Oh, well I didn't know that. Sorry. I just looked at my graphics settings and saw what I was using and thought that it was. My mistake. Still new to this stuff

here is what my Display page looks like on Dxdiagnostic Sorry, I Forgot to post it.

So is there Anything Wrong? or Anything i can do to fix this problem?

 

[Agozer]

The problem is that Intel's integrated chips are very poor for emulation, and are more or less below minimum requirements for Project64. You can help yourself by buying yourself a decent graphics card - though if you are using a laptop, tough luck, since you'd have to buy a new laptop in that case.

Now, if your computer had a decent ATI Radeon or Nvidia's equivalent, you probably wouldn't be in this situation. Same goes for ATI's and Nvidia's integrated graphics chips (Mobility Radeon and GeForce Go(?) respectively) for laptops, which are far better than Intel's offerings.

so i just buy a new graphics card?

do you have any idea which i should buy, and how much this would cost?

A good idea would be to play just the N64 version of OOT. When I play a gamecube version, I always have 2 hearts for some reason.

How is this relevant? We are talking about Ocarina of Time on Project64.

Any Radeon or GeForce card released in the last 4-5 years would do just fine, if you are looking for a graphics card for your emulation needs. Hell, my old 2004 Radeon 9800 Pro, which is by no means top of the line by today's standards, does its job more than adequately.

I don't know about cost, since I'm not that interested in latest developments in the graphics card market. Someone else can give you a decent cost analysis I'm sure.

However, the bottom line is that you should never get a computer with an integrated graphics chip in it, and if you are getting a laptop, ditch it if there's any mention of Intel in the graphics side of things.

Just to add to what Agozer said, if you get a new graphics card make sure your motherboard has a slot for it. For a system of that era, you hopefully have an AGP slot on the motherboard (though some manufacturers got cheap and decided not to include them). If you don't have an AGP slot (and I'm sure it probably doesn't have a PCI-Express slot), you'll have to go with a card that fits into a PCI slot (assuming you have a PCI slot that's available). So check out the slots on your motherboard before you buy anything.

You can see pictures of AGP and PCI slots on Wikipedia's AGP article if you aren't familiar with them.
