ya..hit escape, that should bring up the clipboard. Then setup button, then net status. Try to check your frame rate offline against your frame rate on line. if there is a significant difference, i.e. offline is 35, online is 10 -15, check for an irq conflict with your vidcard. I had a conflict with my vidcard and modem once and that really clobbered my frame rate on line.
If that isnt the problem, post your system pecs and there will be people with similar systems that are able to help.
