slow motion in game

[fishingme]

Hey, so I have a non dual core laptop and whenever i try to play EQ off of the hard drive that's in it, it goes slow motion like the dual core issue problem. But here's the kicker, whenever i play it off of my external hard drive it's completely fine. I have tried using eqplaynice & wineq2 but neither has helped. Any suggestions other than another external hdd? XD
