Uber Lag on 9800 pro

[Byt3]

Hi, Ill say the situation.

My Main PC broke, so i got some parts fixed. But kept the main parts, like Mobo, Harddrive, Power Supply... but my gfx (powercolor 9800 pro) broke, so i got rid of that.

SO i made a new computer out of old bits, not using any of these ones. and bought myself a nice new 9800 pro Atlantis - sapphire.

Then, i got my stuff back from my main PC, and decided to rebuild my main PC. I put in this new 9800 pro, had some usul problems, like Hardrive installing, XP, and the usual blue screen of death sh!t.

But i fixed that, got into XP, installed some games, drivers -Sound, GFX (new ATI ones) SP1+1a / 2 and standard drivers.

But on my game World Of warcraft, i 'Tried' to play... i was getting 1fps.. and it isnt net lag, its graphics lag. I know this gfx card is good, and is working, as it was in my other pc, and running nicely and quickly. I cant find anythign else to do. Done reinstalling game, and drivers, and .net... previous drivers, driver cleaner...

- Oh ye, also i think this XP disk is a bit weird, i got it off my step dad, (was old lookin) and even say It is now safe to turn off your computer (like win 98)

rekon a full windows reinstall wud be the fix?

any help appriciated

EDIT: Even lag on old games like Joint operations !! /cry

I'd snag a windows disc from a friend and just re-use serial, or whatever your doing with it.

Sounds to me like a virus and or spyware, get yourself AVG free and SpyBot search & destroy and see if that helps, if not at least you got two good programs.
