Please help as I am at a complete loss.

I was playing OutRun 2006 & FIFA 2007 last week with no problems - both ran fine.

However I am now experiencing slow down and general frame rate problems in these games ( and others )

I have tried everything

I have ran anti virus ( nod32 )
ran spyware searches ( ad-aware & spybot )
Ran registry cleaner ( registry mechanic )
Optimized PC ( PC Pitstop Optimize )
Downloaded latest NVIDIA driver ( 93.71 )
Task Manager showing no running applications in the background

The internet is running fine - just my gaming experiences I am having problems with - annoying when they were running fine previously

Please help guys - will be eternally grateful - seriously

There's your problem...7300 SE. Turbocache garbage.

Here's what Tom's Hradware had to say in their review of the GeForce 7 series:

"One card we left out of the test group is the GeForce 7300, as we do not consider it a gaming graphics card"

It's not the problem - these games were running fine a few days ago without any problem - now I have the slow down so nothing at all to do with the graphics card
