Try uninstalling your video drivers, rebooting into safe mode, and run Driver Cleaner Pro to COMPLETELY remove them. Reboot normally, and when you get the "new hardware found" (it will do it twice), hit cancel. Then reinstall your drivers.

Did you install the Dual Core Optimizer as I asked earlier? Go here to get it:

Finally, you should be able to go into your device manager (start>control panel>administrative tools>computer management>device manager). You should be able to view your CPU information there and make sure both cores are activated.

There is a conflict somewhere. That card will run that game better than that.
