[Solved] Window 7 freezing up in facebook games.

I recently upgraded my mothers computer to a dual core with Windows 7. She loves to play games and her favorite is Video Bingo in Facebook (Mesmo games). Since this upgrade bingo will freeze up after the game is completed prior to awarding tokens and asking if you would like to play another game. So far I have tried Windows Explorer, Google Chrome and Firefox web browsers, cleared the cache for both the browsers and the computers DNS cache. Additionally, I have disabled tcp autotuning, removed remote differential compression, and removed IPv6. Also, I have upgraded the graphics driver. All Windows 7 upgrades are current, Adobe flash and shock wave in addition to all adobe programs are the most recent. The computer is a Dell Optiplex 740, AMD Athlon 64x2@2.2ghz, 4GB PC6400 800Mhz ram. There are other Mesmo games that are not responding correctly also. Every other App seems to work correctly and other than these issues this computer appears to work flawlessly. Unfortunately, these are my mothers favorite games. This problem doesn't exist with Windows XP. I do not want to switch back though. Really like Windows 7. Does anyone have any solutions for me?

BIOS is not the same as drivers. You want to update the drivers so all the hardware that's connected/integrated with motherboard is working on the latest instruction set, since you are putting a newer CPU into it.

Ok for 740 there's no win7 dedicated drivers, so you have to go with vista 64 bit drivers.

update your audio, network and video drivers from dell website

if you didn't update the sata drivers ( you needed them to install win7) then do so now too

if you didn't update the BIOS previously, do it now too.

There's no drivers for processors, there's just drivers for how motherboards work with the sockets that are built into them. If the socket supports different core processors, the motherboard driver is supposed to accomodate all of them regardless of OS

Well, I finally got the motherboard drivers and bios updated. It didn't solve my problem. I think there must have been something wrong with the Windows 7 installed on the computer. I bought the computer with it installed. I have installed Windows XP and everything is working as it should. We may try to put Windows 7 anytime upgrade on it in the future. Right now I'm tired of messing with it and relieved that I don't have to stress over it for a while. Thanks again for all your input. It's been a learning experience.
