I have the same problem, but it's easily fixed by running Razor as administrator.

I've heard tell of people getting better function by running it in 'Compatibility Mode' for Windows XP, as well.

This applied to Vista and Win 7 I believe. :)

Set compatibility mode to XP SP3, disable desktop composition, and run as administrator.

These three options greatly increased my stability under Windows 7.

right click shortcut-properties-compatibility- use the settings here http://wiki.uosecondage.com/Razor#Razor ... _Windows_7

2.how do i turn off the themses cos i would really like to see how many regs i got left and such, Above answer works for this if you have the latest razor then you don't need to disable desktop comp/ visual themes they work in vista / windows 7 so you can still use aero theme and still have normal bar on your uo window

3. i got quite a big screen but my uo page is quite small is there a way of making it a bit bigger.

razor window - more options tab - check of the box next to force game size and type in the size window you want i have 1400x900 resolution so i use 900 x 875 which leaves room for the bar at the top and some black area for other stuff

thank you for your reply iamreallysquall and everyone else who replied,

1. i have set it to XP SP3 and seems to be running a bit better.

2. iv turned off themes but still dont get the bar across the top to say how many regs iv got, if u have any others ideas that might help i would be greatly appreciative.

3.i changed the screen size to wat u said and it is alot bigger so thanks for that,is there a way of making it wider though as the height is perfect it all the way to the top,but the sides are still a bit narrow, im starting to think i shud hagve kept my old com,puter it was easier than this one lol

sweet

you need both visual theme /desktop compistion turned off but if you updated razor to the latest then you no longer need them disabled

adjust it to something wider by adjusting Y x 875 example : 1024 x 875 or 1200 x 875

sorry for the 7 day delay, never noticed this got responded to.

i would make sure you updated your razor all the way(1.0.13.4)can check under the help tab your current version, then you don't need them disabled just the option for windows xp sp 3 check off and that it looks similar to this.
