Hi,
which of the two games are you having issues with? It sound like the game runs in software mode, so be sure that 3D mode (or DirectX mode - don't know how the game calls it) is selected.

There is no option like that in settings :( game (the longest journey) runs in software mode definitely. In monitoring tool (HWinfro) nor intel or amd radeon is used. As i mentioned about 75% (2.7ghz) cpu usage (game requires 266mhz to run...).

Anybody? :)
When you launch TLJ the config window should appear. In it under the group "Video Driver" is where you select your card's driver (should be something like "Primary video driver") and 3D Acceleration. What setting are selected there? Also, updating the video driver might help.

P.S. Here's preferences.ini for my installation for reference:
