First of all, this is my first post here. I am a huge fan of TES series (strange bugs and all).

I have Skyrimmed myself into a coma, so I decided to dig out my Morrowind GOTY edition.

After some initial difficulty that was solved by the CODEC fix, I have encountered two new problems:

1) Once I reach the game's main menu accessing menus is very slow. The game will start and seems to load/look perfectly fine, except it is also very slow/laggy.
2) When I go to Exit the game the game stops responding. In fullscreen this causes a lockup, but in Windowed mode I can end the process.

My DirectX is up to date and the problem persists with or without the Unofficial patch.

Now, the slowdown might be explicable by a lack of graphical power (though I can run Rome: Total War on lowish settings, so this should still work!). What that doesn't explain is why the game menus are so slow before I even start a game, and why it freezes on quit. I have also read of other T60 users successfully running Morrowind.

Thanks for any help you can give!
