Prince of Persia 2 Thrones Help Please

[aloshan]

Hi all

I'm new here after stumbling across this website while searching the net for a solution to my problems.


I installed POP:Two thrones and the first time I ran it, the game worked fine(I only played it for about 10min though). The second time I ran it, it played fine through the first movie and then slowed down as the actual game play started. I have tried uninstalling/re-installing the game, changing all graphic properties to as low as possible and also checked to see if too many processes were running. I am running a fairly new Notebook as you will see below so it could not be the CPU speed(Core 2 Duo 1.8gHz) or the RAM(4GB..Vista sees 3GB) as I have an abundance in both.

These are the specs for my Notebook
