I just boosted my own FPS by turning on Direct Draw Acceleration. It was disabled on my computer. If you are suffering from low FPS, try making sure that it is enabled.
go to start, then run
type cmd
then type dxdiag
Go to the display tab.
If direct draw acceleration is disabled, enable it. 😉
If its enabled and you still get low fps… err… to be continued… 😉

Method that fixed my FPS: Go to your computers display properties and click the “Settings” tab. Change the color quality from 32 bit to 16 bit.
