Slow running game, questions

[Hydrazine]

I got this game over Christmas, and was able to run it fine in the computer at the place i was staying, however, one my main computer where I am now, it runs slow on the default settings, and most lower settings as well.

The computer meets the requirements for hard drive and RAM, I did not check the processor speed but the computer runs other intensive computer programs as well, and the graphics is a Radeon 9600, with enough memory to run other intensive programs.

I tried downloading new drivers for the card, after hearing that Radeon might have had some issues with dominions 2, but the driver installation did not work out. Since I haven't seen any similar problems descriptions for dominions 3, are there other odd effects or suggestions for things that might be slowing the game down a lot?
