Hey has anyone here experienced MIDI problems using vista, because It sounds really bad and it lags when I use TGF2. My point is: does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm not sure what TGF2 is.
Switch your default midi player to Quicktime.
TGF2 stands for The games Factory 2, I forgot to mention that I have problems with other games too.Quote:

Doom 2 using a source engine called ZDoom, I looked on Microsoft's official website and they said that people experience this problem a lot, but I think I figured it out though.Quote:

Uh.. Ubuntu really doesn't support games.
Does Vista still have that run as... option? run it as a windows 95 program.
if by that, you mean Canonical won't support Windows games, then yes - they're a Linux vendorQuote:

Use Wine's AppDB (application database) to check whether there are any specific problems with things
Here's TGF2's AppDB

As with a lot of obscure windows stuff, the AppDB entry is quite old - using wine 0.9.30 (we're up to 0.9.58, I think now)
Yes, Vista has various compatibility modes (I think most are software emulation though, so speed may be a problem?)Quote:
