Okay, reinstalled the latest Nvidia drivers, update windows xp (with service pack three). Everything is up to date.
I tested my computer at the system requirements lab website and it says my stats are perfect for ME.
I also tried different levels of texture and filtering quality at the standard resolution of 1028x768
I still get between 20 and 35 fps per average, expecially in combat. Occasionally it rises to 40-50 fps in certain areas, but that's about it.
So I am all out of ideas. I don't know what to do to make this game run well, even though I easily have the recommended stats.
I actually made a mistake earlier quoting my system earlier.
I have Samsung R560-AS01 with the following specifications from DXdiagnose:
