Disabling dwm.exe, have to click under everything..?

[ArtemisGray]

This issue isn't exactly with the game, but I have no idea what this problem is called or what I should google. And what I have searched has turned up no results.

I've been disabling dwm.exe lately, I go from my standard 10-ish FPS to like 30-40 while playing H&H. Which makes the game waaaaaay more playable.

However, for some reason I have to point my cursor and click below everything to do things such as walking through a door, picking up items from my inventory etc.

I kept dwm.exe running and instead just changed my windows theme to basic, and I have this same issue.

When I played H&H with dwm.exe disabled in full screen, that issue with the clicking was gone. However the game was in a very small box, I couldn't view my map or health/stamina bars.

Does anyone know anything at all about what I could do? or should I take this problem to some sort of tech support forum, I don't know.

What i don't get is : Fullscreen <-> small box

Fullscreen is what it says - the application (HnH Ender client) is shown on the complete screen, but small box sounds like (resized) window...

too bad you can't draw it like the amazing "catchrabbithowto"

Too me it sounds like an issue with teamwork between dwm (display windows manager) and your Intel graphics driver.

Yeah, when I click the fullscreen option, it isn't... fullscreen...

I'll upload some screenshots tommorow morning

But yeah all my H&H issues are probably due to my Intel graphics card/driver whatever

That sucks.

I think i asked you already for NB manufacturer and model number (see sticker at bottom)

and / or dl this little freeware programm: http://www.horland.de/download/CWSysinfo.zip

unpack anywhere on your NB and doubleclick to run - no installation and nothing changed on your system...it's in german but easy to use

1. click button: Scan my system (just click "ok" if / at any messages poppin up)
2. when scan is finished click "Report" button - on the left at bottom
3. in the report window check "Alles" (Everything) at bottom right
4. click "Erzeuge Report" ( make report ) left one of the 2 top buttons
5. click "Speichern unter" (Save at) - right one of the 2 top buttons
6. close programm

now go to where you saved the report, open with Notepad editor and delete the key at "Product Key:" (7th entry) - as it is your vista key which i don't need to know!!!

now copy whole txt file, paste into http://codepad.org/ - Language: Plain Text, check "private", uncheck "run", then Submit and pm me the url - so i can look what we can do about updating your drivers...

Hey, I was having the same problem with a toshiba laptop with intel graphics.

I fixed it by googling "intel display driver" and getting to their site, from there they directed me to the toshiba website for drivers and they just had me pick from a dropdown list of what laptop I had (L355-S7812, it was on the bottom of the laptop).

Now it works for me.

If you can get to your manufacturer's website like I did you could just find your problem.

I've been telling people on here about the dwm.exe graphical lag for almost 2 years now, but I don't I have the problem you do when in game.
