Can some one tell me if this is normal.I have the Hercules GForce II Ultra Video Card and it takes forever to go from full screen to Window screen to Minimize UT Like 45 to 60 sec.The same with changing resolution.My old Voodoo it only took 3-4 seconds. The same when I Maximize.
Is this normal

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
I have a Voodoo 3 card, and it takes around 10-20 seconds to do that. A friend has a GeForce, I don't know exactly which kind it is, but it takes around the same amount of time. This probably doesn't help much, but just to let you get an idea for some other speeds.
Well just started up my old CPU with the Voodoo 3 and UT.Just to test it.It took less then a second to go from full screen to Window Screen and less then a second to Minimize it.I mean it is almost instant.
Don't blame your GeForce...blame Windows! Windows (all versions) is really the source of all computing, internet and even life related problems.
Well that's not helpful. If the problem was with windows and not the geforce, then he would have the problem with his Voodoo card too.
Ghost, you sure you have all the latest drivers and everything?

Although I was being sarcastic with my previous remark, it still could be a windows problem. Simply put, windows is not at all great in uninstalling/reinstalling video driver software. My guess is some of the 3dfx settings are still in the registry (I assume this is the same computer that you upgrade to a Geforce from voodoo?). I'd download a Registery Cleaner software, and nuke those 3dfx settings. Then reinstall the latest Detonator drivers and go from there.
Or how bout trying to set your desktop res settings to the same as your UT res settings? It might just speed up the process.
with my geforce, it takes maybe at most, 5 seconds... when I had temporarily popped in a voodoo3 in there,and it was minimized even before I clicked (figuratively speaking).
I think Voodoo's generally do this a lot better than the Nvidia cards. I had a V3 and the screen minimised in a few secs... then I got a GeForce2 GTS and it took a while and did ugly things... then I got a V5 and it is instant. Beautiful card for UT! The other prob is that a lot of Nvidia cards leave the mouse cursor in the middle of your UT screen once you resize the window. Really annoying if you want to keep UT running while you chat on IRC etc 
What you might want to do is to set UT to run at the same screen resolution as Windows. This makes the transition a whole lot easier.

No the GForce II Ultra is in my new CPU never had any other Drivers on it .I tried other GForce drivers but always uninstalled them even cleaned up the Registry.It is not really Minimizing it takes 45 second to go from UT Full screen to Window Screen.Then a few seconds to Minimizing .The same when I bring it back from the tasked bar to window screen first I get a blank window frame then in about 20 - 30 sec UT comes back.
For that card I am assuming that you have 700mhz or faster CPU with over 128 ram? If not the maybe that is the problem?

LOL thanks for your help
CTS Computers I've been dealing with them for 3 Years and there are very good.I have live time free labor on everything I buy there.There are not the cheapest around, not expensive either and there use Quality stuff.No generic stuff I mean.Plus there are at every CPU Show around the area.I can bring in my system anytime and there will look and fix it for free.Setup configuration vise.
