Hi:What are your specs?
In addition to your specs what programs do you have running in the background? How many processes are listed in Task Manager? Do you perform regular spyware/virus scanning and cleaning? When was the last time you ran a disk cleanup, CHKDSK and defragmentation?
You can try turning down hardware acceleration and color.

I had this problem when I was trying to play Sims2. When it didn't crash, it was very slow. I was told to create another user acct. and run only the game in that User account. It did help a bit. Also keeping your computer defraged and all that good stuff. If its still running slow, my only suggestion is get more RAM. When running your game, you want all other programs closed so they arent lagging the game.
