Yes both are already off in visual pinball preferences.  Thanks

Without knowing how the app works...how much memory are you using when everything is running. 
Open the task manager and launch the app.

If you are using more than 2gig of memory then add memory.

I would say if there are shadows than the grip isn't doing proper job.....but that would sound wrong.   :D

Yeah, if you're swapping alot it won't help.  And this machine works fine for other things and you're not suffering from "SSD stutter"?

PL1:
+1 on upgrading memory -- 4GB should be good, more is a waste with 32-bit XP IIRC.

Have you eliminated unneeded processes?

By keeping the cab connected wirelessly, you need to keep anti-virus, etc. -- If you disconnect the cab from the network, you can eliminate the anti-virus and the wireless connection processor overhead.

When you open Task Manager, switch to the processes tab and click on the CPU column header to see how much processor time each process is using .  You may have a rogue svchost.exe eating up lots of processor time. (Not difficult to fix -- Google for directions if needed.)
