Interesting. I didn't know Aperture made such a big difference in performance. I think mine is set pretty high. I'll change mine and see if it makes any difference.

This is very odd. Did you do a complete reinstall of WinXP when you upgraded or was it inplace? I can't really think of anything else that would cause this slowness. You may want to check out the EA forums at http://www.battlefield1942.com and see if anyone is having the same problem. I feel like I heard about something like this over there. Also, I'd leave the 1.2 patch in place if you play online. They solved so many issues with the net code, response time and balance issues. It's like a completely different game.

First of all, try upgrading to version 1.2 of Battlefield. It has a ton of improvements over 1.1 and might solve your problem outright. Another thing you might want to try is lowering all your sound settings in Battlefield. Turn off hardware acceleration (if it's on) and lower the channel settings to the lowest possible. Hope that helps!
