MTW "Freeze Lag"

[Prince of Judah]

I'm using someone else's laptop. It's new. It has windows 7 and is more than powerful enough to run both shogun and medieval tw. I am having two problems. Firstly, in a battle, the game keeps freezing momentarily while i am scrolling around during a battle. This is even before the battle starts during the deployment phase. I am using the XL 3.0 mod. The other problem is that when i click campaign tutorial i get a ctd after it finishes loading. Can someone PLEASE help me? I've tried compatibility mode. i've tried setting my desktop res to the same as the games. i've tried 16 bit color. Nothing works. The graphics card is an intel manufacturer one. This shouldn't be an issue and it actually makes it so i am having no graphical problems that plague modern graphics cards. HALP MEE
