Perhaps the video card is not up to snuff at the moment. Try this first. Shutdown all background programs you are not using. It sounds like your hard drive is swapping files like it is RAM. Free up as much RAM as you can for the game. See how it runs. As far as your video, sounds like you need a card. Look into one (Nvidia) and install it. It is plug and play on the motherboard....extemely easy.
