    You can see my laptop's config @ my profile. I got some problem: when im playin wc3, im getting more n more lags ingame due to the video card overheating, imo. Idk what to do, or maybe, its a usual problem, lol. I can also say that im playin modern games like gears of war or NGS pro street for hours n its not getting heated that much to make it lag, really. Maybe someone got the same problem, i havent noticed any acer 7520 discussions.

    Does this happen only when you play online? I had a similar problem when I played WC3 on Vista and the cause was my wireless internet. Every 30 seconds it would lag for 2-3seconds and then go back to normal. I switched to XP and everything ran smooth. If you are using a wireless connection try using ethernet and post here if it works.

    Well since GoW and NFS run well on the same laptop I can only assume its a software problem. I'm sure you've already tried it but try re-installing the game + the 1.21a patch. If it doesn't work then try a different driver (I'd recommend 169.04 from laptopvideo2go.com).
