well mate im not an expert on this stuff but the exact same thing happened to a friend of mine. He fixed it by using full screen exclusive mode. Before you compile all your code just go to the settings option on the right and select full screen exclusive mode from the display settings. When my friend got dbpro in full screen windowed mode his fps was always about 1. As soon as he went to exclusive it just skyrocketed. This only happens with some people's comps tho, not all. Personally, full screen exclusive works slower for me then regular full windowed mode. Its just a matter of what computer youve got

well i found my own prob?
i think it was because i mixed 3d objects and 2d objects, when i changed it to 2d only DBpro kicked reg DB but

My advice is free -
unfortunately you get what you pay for (-:
