Alienware Graphics Problem

[ethan]

my friend has an alienware computer. 2200+AMDAthlon, Geforce4TI4600gfx. he downloaded SP1, and has problems playing games. when a new game like MaxPayne, Hitman2, etc., it is very sluggish. any ideas?

i will try to get his dxdiag soon.

He has DirectX 8.2?

As soon as the dxdiag is there, I'll look into it. Also, a couple of questions:

1) Did the problems only start after SP1 ?

2) If not after SP1, when did they happen (what changed) ?

3) Do they happen with all games, or just a few (if just a few, which ones) ?
