Today I installed Service Pack 2 for Win XP on my parent's computer (I know, should have done it a long time ago, but I was lazy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif ).
Anyways, I then went and continued my game of Warcraft III, which, until then, had worked just fine. Now, the framerate has dropped from acceptable down to about (literally) 1 FPS, sometimes less. It seems to be a little more than coincidence that this happened immediately after SP2 was installed.
Does anyone have any idea what would have caused this, and is there anything I can do to fix it?
I turned all the graphics down to their lowest level, the sound quality as well, and now it's playable, but I'd rather play it at the medium detail settings I had it at before, rather than rock bottom settings.
Many thanks.
