one thing to try if it's being laggy and such is to force it to use a different version of directx. add -dxlevel7 or -dxlevel8 to the shortcut. it may make some of the textures look a little funky (some of the NPC's mouths light up in bright pink in the cutscenes, etc.) but you'll get better performance and there's no real perceptible graphical difference.
