    A quick fix that used to improve the performance A LOT and probably still does since the last patch is to load the game, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and close gameoverlayUI.exe.

    Doesn't affect the graphics one bit and you should notice the improvement right away.

    Sadly the game refuses to minimise for me at all now.

    It seems to be happier minimising from the main menu (i.e before you load anything), try doing it from there.

    it wont let me minimise either; i tried doing it from main menu and from campaign today, and it just sat there doing nothing. then i had to randomly click on the botom of the scren until i found the E:TW tab and it loaded back up.

    oh:

    i checked my settings; i have all lowest settings, except for 2X antialiasing, fog lighting effects, and heat distortion.

    Well, what I do to minimise it is run something minimal in the background like winamp or notepad, and then just alt-tab. If that doesn't work I CTRL-ALT-DEL.

    Nah it's definately a problem with a the game. The way I get around it is by going to the graphic settings and telling it to run in a window, that allows me to click and minimise the game. It's a bit of a hassle but it's something.

    If you want to be really firm, you shouldn't alt tab anyway.
