    Hi,

    I have an X5DC laptop. Ever since I purchased it, the video performance
    has been very bad when playing any games. It is running Windows 7 64bit
    and I have updated all the drivers from the ASUS website. I have recently
    rebuilt it from the recovery CD that came with the laptop to see if that
    makes any difference, which it did not. It also has all the microsoft updates
    installed. I have also updated direct X.

    If I boot the laptop in safe mode then the games run fine (obviously
    at a lower resolution).

    This problem applies to any game from the past 6 years, so it must be
    some sort of software issue?

    Can you please advise me on how to resolve this?

    Many thanks


    Pete
