    I'm running Vista 32bit. Gameplay has momentary and random lags. I've tried running as administrator, numerous video card settings and disabling one CPU core, but nothing seems to help. Has anyone successfully played the game on an M1530 running Vista 32bit?

    Probably you must replace your GPU...Call Dell...
    OR... is that the only game that gives you this issue?
    Did you already try running it on performance mode?

    It's the only game I've tried so far.

    Performance mode? Are you talking about battery settings? If so, then yes.

    I'm having the same problems with Sands of Time. At first I thought that disabling one core would solve the problem, but it doesn't.
