Hmmmm this is a tough one. Can you please run 3Dmark 03 or 05 and post your complete results so I at least know your system is running properly. If your score is within reasonable parameters, the problem is obviously with IL2 or something related to openGL in windows. (or it could just be that your computer is typically slow with IL2 and I've just forgotten how badly it runs on that combination... possible)

I'd also like a complete spec sheet for your PC, just list it like I'm listing mine here:
