Sluggish play after attempting to play via external monitor...

[MasterofDungeons]

Okay guru's I have a question for you...

My wife plays the game on a Dell 1505 (2ghz C2D and 2GB RAM) with ATI's x1400 graphics (256MB dedicated). Recently I upgraded my monitor and she wanted to try using my old one. We hooked up the monitor to her laptop and plugged in a USB keyboard and mouse. The game looked decent on the new monitor but the game play was sluggish. Keystrokes were a few seconds behind.

I tried tweaking the graphics down to the minimal settings and resolutions and that did not help.

I tried unplugging the USB keyboard and using the integrated laptop keyboard and that did not help.

Finally we unplugged everything and decided to go back to the original set-up but the game is still sluggish on keystrokes.

Any ideas? I will post a DXDialogue report once i get back home.

Many thanks.

are you playing windowed, or full screen?

I was having a problem on my laptop playing windowed because every one in a while the game would start to run a second behind key input

Thanks for the suggestion Cidolfas. We were experiencing the problem in both full screen and windowed modes at all resolutions.

I finally uninstalled and updated her graphics driver and then reset her in-game graphics settings. That combo fixed it.
