I can't figure out what it is, but all of a sudden my gaming performance has taken a dive on Windows 7. I used to get 100+ fps, depending on settings, on Call of Duty 2 but now it goes down into the 30s. I haven't changed any graphics settings. I had installed AMD Catalyst a couple days ago but then I uninstalled it and used my Bootcamp drivers CD to get back the driver I was using before. No success. I did notice that the fans aren't spinning up and the computer isn't very hot, so maybe my integrated card is being used instead of my dedicated card? I have no idea how to change to the dedicated card, though. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: I suppose I'll just format and reinstall; that'll probably take less time than troubleshooting something that happened for no apparent reason. The only thing I even had installed on the Windows partition was COD2, so no big deal.
