Turn<b> "developer 2"</b> on before doing this. That allows you to see what is loading. I am assuming you have a basic knowledge of how to use your config.
<span style='color:red'>Backup your config file before you change any of these, and change them one by one to figure out what works best for you. </span> Just remember to have a backup of your .cfg or you could get realy messed up.
Also update your video card drivers to the current version, and download the latest version of directX. Set your Vertical Sync to "Always OFF" in your video card settings.
