If your running in shader model 2 change it to shader model 1 and disable shadows if you haven't already.

My main concern is your very poor graphic card you shoudl really consider gettign it upgraded. A 9600SE is the mininum so your below that with your 9550.

i have a spare, Nvidia GeForce 6800 (ISUS) 128

would i be better using that?

Follow this guide.

If anything, uninstall your driver and the Catalyst Control Center and use ATI Tray Tools and set it to the settings in the guide.

Nvm: I didn't realize your card was below minimum specs.

Did you mean ASUS instead of ISUS?

Your system is just not good enough to enjoy M2TW.. Get MTW1 or play RTW with mods which is really better.

A Gforce 6800 is a hell of a lot better than a 9550, can't believe you would use a 9550 when you have oen of those laying around lol.
