EDIT) SORRY JUST POSTED THIS AS A REPLY AND NOT A NEW THREAD, APOLOGIES

hi i have just bought gta 4 for my pc and which meets and in most places exceeds the requirements in order to play this game but i just started to play and it lags quite heavily,

the only place in which my system does not exceed is my cpu which is more or less as recommended i.e core2duo 1.8ghz where mine is 1.86ghz, my ram is twice recommended as is my gpu

could this be because i am running windows 7 and not vista or does anybody have any other ideas

my spec is:
core 2 duo 6300 1.86ghz
3gb ddr2 667
asrock 4coredual-vsta
western digital 320gb and 200gb hard drives
ati radeon hd2600 pro 512mb

am quite new to pc gaming so any advice would be greatly appreciated
many thanks
glen
