that saved it
thanks 5tr1k3r and finman

play windowed works. but if i want to play full screen (because d3dwindower doesn t maximize) the other 2 solutions aren t working

Whenever i open eol or elma the colors are all messed up. did anyone have the same problem and know how to fix it?

yes! vertical sync was the problem!
thank you very much

I have installed my graphics card's drivers (Nvidia)
What else can it be?

how do i do that?

i don t think it s the drivers. i believe i didn t forget to install any of them.
i installed d3d windower and it works fine.
By the way i was always running elma from my cpu, i wasn t running it from external hard disc.
And the problem remains but i guess i could play it in window mode from now on.

Hi guys. I have a problem. Recently i did a format to my pc. I 've kept the elma folders to an external hard disk and i 've put it again to my pc. Now every time i try to play both elma1.2 and eol are very laggy. When i put a lev, for example warm up, i can see the time pass every (almost) 10 second...
