    Hi, i recently bought the Dell XPS M1330
    t7500
    2gb ram
    8400GS

    All has worked well, like Oblivion medium grapix 25 fps average outside, till yesterday. I left my computer to my friends, so theyt could edit some videos. I played oblivion right before that BTW.
    Now today Oblivion runs at 9 fps average and some other games run worse too...Im wondering that MAYBE someone knows or can suggest a solution to this?
    And can anyone tell me at what graphix are they running overlord at, with a similiar computer. I have to run EVERYTHING low.

    Maybe some system services or startup programs have been installed or activated by the programs of your friend?

    Check it, otherwise it maybe because of some malware or spyware slowing down your pc.
