Well, I was playing my game. Medal of Honor: Allied Assualt. Was running great... All of a sudden it closes and now the fps is only coming to about 60 and gets as low as 15... I have no idea. I've used console commands to allow fps to go to max. I've re-installed it and everything. Nothing is fixing it...
Someone have any ideas?

You can download the drivers from the manufacturers website. What graphics card have you got ? ATI or nVidia?

First, you have an onboard graphics controller, second, those are death usually to playing games. You can use Everest to find which Emachine you have, download and install, then click on the Report in the menu bar, after it runs the report, copy and paste the info in this thread.

You still need to post which emachine you have as having just the controller name won't get you an updated video driver. Look under the heading in Everest for Computer, click on that and it will give you the name of the Emachine. Post that info here.
