Getting horrible framerate - Help!

    I have a acer aspire 8920G laptop, when I first bought it, EQ2 performed quite well on it. Now, a couple years later I can barely play EQ2 on it. I have reformatted, updated video and sound drivers with no improvement.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I know that EQ2 has evolved since I used my laptop originally, with new shaders, engine, and such. Maybe I need to tweak something? I have all settings as low as they will go and am getting a horrible 10 FPS or lower. I have made sure that nothing else is running in the background stealing resources as well.
    I vaguely remember something about windowed screen vs full screen, and that full screen was still kinda windowed, and there was something you could add/change to the eq.ini file? Does anyone remember what that was, and do you think it might help me?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
