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 just thought I'd mention my own problems with slowdown while using a Gateway500. At times general movement appeared 'jerky'; battles had large action stoppage and the HD kept accessing at odd times.

Finally found out it was spyware. Alexa key entries and tracking cookies with log files in the Windows Temp folder was what kept accessing during play, and particularly in active battles.

I now run a spyware detector before playing and the game runs much smoother.

Happy hunting.
