company of heroes question

i got company of heroes yerterday and it was running good with all of the graphic settings on high but today it started to be really slow.  So i put it on all low settings but it is still really slow.  I have a Dell inspiron E1505 with a Intel Core 2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz Rated at 4.94 GHz and i have 2G of ram with a ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 with windows vista.  Why is it running slow?

Is your laptop overheating by any chance?

I don't see an ATI Mobility X1400 powering the game with everything on HIGH in the first place, but if it was running fine before then, the problem may be overheating, video drivers, or perhaps you had chosen different settings the first time?

I dont think it is overheating because my computer was off the whole day and i just turned it on to play the game

You must be used to very low framerates if you ran it on high with that GPU.
