suggestions for slower computers Options

[Romulas]

I ran into a very annoying problem the night before last. Started the shadelord battle and was amazed that he fired so many spells right off the bat, don't have the exact number but it was alot.

What this did other than destroying my party was slow my computer down to a crawl. The characters that were not slowed from his slow spell could still hardly move and could not make it from the door before getting killed.

The question, are there specific settings that I can alter that will make this a less computer intensive fight? This is the first enhanced encounter that has done this and might be as bad as it is because the battle scene is in the dark and I think that maps like this are more difficult and computer intensive. Just my opinion.

I am extremely disappointed that I can't get anywhere in my IA game because of slowdown. I can only play for 15 minutes at a time before everything gets very slow and choppy. I know this isn't due to IA specifically though as it was happening before I installed IA. It is still extremely frusterating though.

Could someone be more specific as to all the setting tweaks I can make to improve performance?

I want to reformat but unfortunately I only have my ToB CD here and my SoA cds are back home, so if I reformat I wont be able to play BG2 for a couple weeks until I get home!

SOO FRUSTERATING!
