Did you lower the settings all the way? That unit is probably not equipped to handle the game very well.

Yes, I play with the lowest settings. But I mean why it runs slowly in medium settings? I have NFS Pro Street and in runs perfectly on medium settings

If you have lots of stuff installed on your computer you'll have lots of background tasks going on that steal memory even if you're not using their services at the time. I have 66 background tasks running. 4 Gigs barely cuts it.

Yeah - You can play fine on Low, but its slow on Medium. Means your unit can't handle playing it at higher settings. Notebooks are usually built for mobility and not gaming.

Hello AlOnan,
Try updating all your drivers, not just the Video drivers, update the sound and chipset drivers too.
Take a look at what is being loaded at startup, you may be able to stop a program or two, anything you disable will be start manually when needed.
Hope this helps, good luck and post your results.

Thanks but my drivers are up-to-date. I update them with ParetoLogic DriverCure 1.5 . I`ll make a full PC Scan with MicrosoftSecurityEssentials and I`ll post my results.

I hope you didn't pay for that program buddy. :/

You need to check the manufacturer's website for drivers, the "DriverCure" program is a scam. It makes you THINK your drivers are up to date, but they really aren't. You haven't got a clue how many people have called in here with that specific program causing havoc on the system. I've had to initiate recoverys because of this program, had to tell people to cancel their credit cards...

Do the research. I honestly hope you didn't pay for it. If you did, CANCEL YOUR CREDIT CARD!!!! - Those people will suck you dry, it only takes 20 minutes to check for driver updates yourself!!!

I`ll update my drivers with Driver Genius Pro. I`ve used it before and it had repaired my problems.
