Slow motion=bleh

I recently (monday) began using a new laptop and for some reason EQ is running SLOWWWWWW.... the graphics card is a Mobility Radeon 9200 using the drivers that came with it (I can't seem to find drivers that will correctly install.) and for some reason EQ runs in slow motion. Its not a choppy losing frames slow motion, its a smooth slow motion that results in my characters running SLOW as hell. Just wondering if anyone had ever heard of this problem... I know this isn't the correct forum for this kind of question in the least bit but wasnt really sure where else to ask

my friends laptop gets that occasionally when it is overheating..
the factory fan isn't big enough

That could be it... but I highly doubt it, I've had the laptop sit and recharge for a few hours then ran EQ and its been slow, laptop doesn't feel hot at all.

I get this on this computer aswell. Its a Dell, but so is my upstairs one and I dont get it there. Both are same specs, except for the vid card.

Turn off Shadows.

Did that, my slowness issue went bye bye.
