I have windows 7 64 bit , while playing fallout new vegas the dialogue zips bye so fast i can't read it, is there any way to slow it down so i can play the game,without guessing what the characters are saying to me :

Weird. You can preempt what the person is saying by clicking your left mouse button. That allows you to zip through the conversation. Maybe an odd control settting or mouse setting. Has this always happened or did it just start?
Maybe a mod your using?

If a slow pace of reading is the problem, no, no way to slow it down that I'm aware of. Do you have sound on, so you can hear them speaking? Perhaps better to listen to them than read?

If there's actually a bug and the subtitles aren't staying up for more than half a second...yea that is weird. Is sound also sped up to chimpmunk levels or is only text acting flaky?

Only the text seems to be affected the sound seems fine ,but when i'm attacked the creatures seem to be in fast forward motion,iv'e just started playing this game so every thing is happening for the first time, and i need to slow the reading down so it can ge read

Have you tried a clean windows boot?

Make sure to verify that no third party programs are loaded when u reboot. Use the task manager. ALso go back into msconfig and check the non-ms services. They should all be disabled or in the stopped state.
Some services may not allow you to disable them like that. You will have to go into the software itself and disable the startup stuff there. Zonealarm does that. You have to go into the properties and uncheck zonealarm at startup.

thanks everyone for your help but i think i got it fixed with this ,
Fallout: New Vegas Audio Stuttering

For those experiencing Audio Stuttering, specifically when an NPC is talking, this issue is caused by having thee FFDSHOW codec installed on your computer.

To fix this, you can uninstall FFDSHOW from your computer. If you want to keep using the codec however (which, chances are you’d want to), you need to configure it to so your computer won’t use it’s audio decoder for Fallout: New Vegas.

1. Go to your Start Menu and look for the FFDSHOW audio decoder (note that this is the audio decoder, the one with the blue icon, not the video decoder, the one with the maroon icon).
2. Open the ffdshow audio decoder and in the menu that pops-up, Click DirectShow Control
3. click edit on the “Don’t use ffdshow in:” option
4. Click the “Add” button and then select the Fallout: New Vegas executable
