Hello Angel here and I have a question about wizard101 why is it so slow on my pc? I mean its gotten to the point where I cant even pvp it will skip me... I have tried clearing catche and cookies but nothing will work I went to the point where I took off my current browser and downloaded a new one. Does anyone know whats wrong its very annoying the lag and all and I want to fix it for better gameplay. Please help! :(

Because of the graphics requirements, you need a very strong laptop to play this game. I would suggest going into options and turning off all of the graphics options that you can and dialing the others down as far as possible.

My guess is because your hard drive does not have enough power to play games like Wizard101. There is nothing you can do about it from what I can tell. I had a small notebook computer and it couldn't play games. Notebook computers in the first place aren't meant to play games. They tend to be for research and writing. Nothing too big. From what I can tell, there is nothing you can do about it. Simple as the laptop not strong enough to support a game with high quality, such as Wizard101.

Well mini laptops are usually used for netbooking, school, and other minor things. While Wizard101 doesn't require a souped up gaming computer, it does have its requirements. Go here. https://www.wizard101.com/game/system-requirements Compare your system with the requirements. Assuming you have a PC, go to the start menu and RIGHT CLICK on Computer and then click on Properties. I don't think your mini can handle wizards. Try this too, adjust all the Wizard101 settings (in-game) to low, switch to the lowest resolution and don't use fullscreen. I hope you can play Wizards, Good Luck!

Actually, it is all about the Operatig System. I have a laptop and am pretty sure i have Windows 7(r) and i think 16 bit. I do get lags here and there, but not major. The netbook Probably has a lower bit. You can also choose from a 32 bit which probably will let you zoom through w101 in a breeze! (My father is a techno geek x. x)

I tried wiz 101 on a mini laptop once. It just doesn't work. Mini laptops are for work-related things only. It is difficult to go on places like youtube, thatguywiththeglasses, or Wizard101 with it because it does not have a lot of memory space. Basically, the only game you can play on it is Solitare.
