Hey, all, I was just wondering about something. I am planning to upgrade Windows Millennium to Windows XP Home soon on the same computer and was wondering if Jigsaw Detector will work much faster on XP than it does on Windows ME. It takes about 11 minutes to solve a puzzle on Medium using Jigsaw Detector on ME, so will it be much faster on XP, like 2 minutes and such like I have heard on here earlier?
Thanks a bunch, all! O0

If you're going to upgrade, I would recommend waiting for Windows Vista to come out (whenever that will be). Makes no sense in spending $100 to upgrade to XP and have to upgrade again in a few months. However, the autos are made to work with XP so it's only natural they would work faster with that operating system.
I use XP and using JigsawDetector 6.3 I finished my puzzles last night using the fast setting in about 2-3 minutes per puzzle.
Then again I do have 1GB of RAM as well.
LOL I only have about 384 MB of RAM in my old laptop. Could that be the reason the auto program is slow on my system? I can add another 256 MB module in it and make it 512 total MB RAM. Would that help or would Jigsaw Detector still be slow-solving?
yes i think windows xp pro is the way to go im using ver 6.0 with 2 gig of ram and its
taking about 2.3 min a puzzle wahoooo windows xp pro is better than windowas xp

512MB would be my minimum recommendation.
It also helps to turn off any unnecessary programs that are running in the background.

I <3 your ram.
And to keep this on subject, how the heck do you pause this auto? I was stuck yesterday and couldn't get my mouse to click stop on it. It was like going crazy. I had to turn my computer off the wrong way to get it to stop !

Keep it down till it stops....mine is stubborn sometimes and I have to keep doing it, and keeping it pressed.....try it.
Hold down shift and escape until it stops. It takes a few seconds.

How would I know which programs to turn off? I don't know what other programs are running when I run Jigsaw Detector or when I am playing on Pogo without any cheat programs running! ???
