ok real strange stuff happening!

ok here is the deal...
i installed a game called Shaiya on my comuter
it played just fine ran nice and smooth
then i installed world of war crack....
and now Shaiya looks like its on crack!
the toons move way too fast and are all jerky and shaky!
its not playable like this!
i'm going to try uninstalling wow and see if it fixes the issue but regardless
how can i have both these games installed and not have this problem.

Install em on other partitions, weird wow has something to do with it, maybe it's just pure coincidence ;)

WoW will not affect another title like that and it is more likely another problem. Goto Task Manager and list all the processes, take a screenshot and post it here. I will be able to help.

ok my lazy self finally got down to doing some actual trouble shooting (which is basically what my degree is in lol)
and i found the problem i uninstalled wow first and that didn't help and i then remembered that i had used the ccc to over clock my vid card just a few days ago..... sooooooo i undid the overclocking and viola the game is working again...

now why did overclocking my vid card cause me this problem?

btw ccc = cytalist control center
vid card is x1650
amd x2 4200
2gig ddr2 800
250gig sata2 hdd seagate fishy

Overclocking produces heat and depending on the game or game sequence, your
card may or may not handle the load. If the game has alot of objects or moving
objects then it makes the card work harder producing even more heat. So the card
may work fine at one speed in one game or sequence and not in another. And even
if heat isn't an issue you can still run into the same problem. As you increase the
core speed of the gpu the extra power increases the bandwidth of the memory. The
memory can only handle so much, so in games and sequences that are tasking the
card you may overpower the memory causing it to use bandwidth the memory can't
handle. That's one reason I don't ever buy the cheapest card of any model. The cheaper
cards usually have cheaper memory modules that are closely rated to the gpu speed.
While the higher priced cards tend to use better memory with more headroom. And
it doesn't matter if you have 128, 256 or 512mb of onboard memory when overclocking.
It's not the amount, it's the quality of the module.

lmao i didn't buy the cheapest and the ram is good.
i didn't overclock the card that much and many other games that require much more than shaiya ran fan btw had the same problem running evercrack
but wow, domo, rappelz, lego racer2, bf1942, and heroes of might and magic 5 all ran fine. and trust me heroes and rappelz both suck up more of my system specs than shaiya or evercrack ever could and btw it was evercrack1 not 2

btw here is my card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814102035

Those cards over an awful lot of headroom for overclocking. I brought one for my work PC and was able to overclock the core by 150MHz and the RAM by a decent 50MHz (100MHz DDR)! Yeah it ran a lot hotter and the fan was running louder, but it was 100% stable in ATITools and I could run Serious Sam 2, Doom3 and the ATI Toy Shop Tech Demo just fine on a single core P4 2.8GHz.

I think the slow down or jitters you are experiencing are not the actual overclock itself, but more likely that the game doesn't like overclocking. The easiest thing to do is create 2 or 3 ATITools Hardware Profiles and switch between them as you swap in and out of different applications. Set one to High Image Quality - Large Overclock (Quality Mode), another to Low Image Quality - Large Overclock (Performance Mode) and then 1 more for default values (Safe Mode).
