Suffice to say, I recently acquired an alienware laptop from a father attempting to buy my love, due to his absence in my childhood.
This was good in the fact that my old desktop had a problem with the BGII registry, and I couldn't put it on, or tutu. But I can now! And I did. Running through tutu with a Half elven cleric/ranger, and all is good. Thing is, the game actually LAGS at times. Such as the fight with mulahey (currently in progress, as I alt+tabbed to post this! ![]() Any way to get around this? Obviously the lag shouldn't be happening. |

Turn off the AV when playing.

Incidentally, I feel really stupid. It seems that the power chord had become ever so slightly unplugged from the laptop. Very low battery equated to lag.
Sometimes, I amaze even myself. :p |

First question any tech support line asks, regardless of the question, "Is the power cord plugged in?"

From where I was sitting, it was! In any event, I still experience lag once in awhile, mostly when a bunch of AoE spells are going off, but nothing to complain about.

Anything running in the background that may be sucking up resources?
