Vizard suddenly running slowly

[JMOwens]

Hi farshizzo,
Thanks for your reply - I agree it's a strange problem! Good question about the video card drivers; the reason nVidia doesn't post them (according to their website) is because each laptop's manufacturer uses different settings for special buttons, etc. They recommend downloading Geforce Go drivers from the manufacturer's website, which is what I did here. There were a few card driver "updates" that ran at various times after I installed Vista - I wonder if one of them could have actually impaired performance, as I'm pretty sure Vizard was fine right after the OS upgrade. I do have the most recent drivers according to HP's website.

This was the thinking behind my question about secret settings - I was thinking maybe the newer driver changed some settings under the hood that I could change back without too much drama (like rolling back drivers).
