can't run Pandora Tomorrow

[Innominate]

i just got a velocity micro L80 laptop. it's got 2g ram, a 7600gs and a t7200 core2duo. i was able to play after downloading all the ubisoft patches yesterday. but today even the initial bootup sequence is choppy as h#$%. the video is only set at medium quality. any suggestions wwould be great. i figured this game would be no problem with the hardware that i have and considering the game is 2yrs old.
