Which is even worse because you are overclocking a part that already gets limited air flow. It's good that you aren't overclocking it anymore though. Other then getting a new laptop I don't think there is too much you can do to improve performance. Even on XP H2V is still a pretty demanding game, and I'll be surprised if the issues you are having are easily fixable. You have a relatively slow CPU, a low amount (for the game) of ram and a relatively poor performing GPU. The only thing I can suggest is to turn absolutely every setting down or off and try and play it like that. If H2V has some kind of safe mode setting try running it in that.

Microsoft really isn't into open source. This is obvious. They release a few cut down apps here and there but until I see Windows/Office Free Edition (even if it is based off an older codebase like 9x) and it's source code released I won't consider them a part of the open source movement.
