As the title said, after I reinstalled my Windows Vista, and all the updates for it afterwards. Minecraft, and basicly every other game too, ran worse. Weird, because it used to run just fine, always above 100 fps as far as I can remember, and no sudden drops. Now I play at 30'ish fps and it'll drop to 5-8 fps every few seconds when running around. I recently downloaded IObits game boosting software, and Advanced Systemcare. Nothing.
I tried downgrading my minecraft to a version before the reinstall, and still had lag, so something has got to be wrong.
I'll list my specs here:
-Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
-Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66Ghz
-4,00 GB RAM
-NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

@sayhisam1 Doing another virus scan atm. Have any good Antivirus software? Now using AVG 2012.

Usually when I do an OS reinstall, it's because I had just replaced the harddrive... Going on that mindset, if you tore your computer apart and reassembled it, make sure you have your monitor plugged into the GeForce 9600 vid card and not the onboard motherboard video. It may seems pretty obvious, but it's still easy to jack into the wrong port.

No didn't even touch anything on there. The reinstall was due to a huge problem with java, I tried reinstalling it, tried updating it. Did everything. Didn't work. Went on forums, no one knew what was wrong. So I just reinstalled everything, since nothing could fix it.

Did you get correct driver support yet? I don't believe the version 285 drivers support the 9600. You may need to go to a legacy driver for Vista.

Well, when I checked for driver updates in IObit's GameBooster, it told me I needed that one. Would be weird if it's wrong. But I'll take a look at that what you said.

I just noticed that you said 'java.exe' is to be run by the Nvidia vid card... Shouldn't that be 'javaw.exe'? If you open task manager while you're playing Minecraft, you'll see that it's running on javaw.exe, not java.exe. Try making javaw.exe run with the Nvidia card and then see how Minecraft plays.

Hope that works!
I do see changes in performance, it's playable.. it's not what it used to be. But it's okay. Thanks for the help everyone. I'll just have to wait for the new pc, if that one can't do the job, i'll come back, because it HAS to be somekind of settings problem then. Anyways, thanks for the help again everyone, it definitely helped me alot!
The topic can be closed in my opinion now (:

Guess which one is better? (Hint, not microsoft's they don't typically support 3d accleration of any kind.)

Advanced Guide to server-ip and server-port settings.
My thoughts exactly. You said all microsoft updates were done, those video drivers are crap and run like crap also.
Nope, downloaded the latest drivers from the nvidia website.
Version 285.62
Done that.. added jave.exe AND minecraft.exe, neither seem to work.. ._.
