Computer is lagging/stuttering

Memtest. You'll have to run it from a flash drive when you first boot your computer and it takes several hours. Not entirely sure it's necessary if you've already fixed your problem but it can't hurt anything either. Knowing you have stable RAM is always good. Does it work okay now without compatibility mode?

I don't have time to memtest this week But I will try to get around to it. And no, if I turn off compatibility mode, it goes back to being awful. Looks like Windows XP SP3 is my hero for now.

Odd. If it's just that then my guess is they released a patch recently that screwed it up. Your hardware is probably fine so I wouldn't be to worried at all. If it works then great and I don't see any reason to believe you have faulty hardware if one little settings change fixes the problem.

Did you check the checkbox saying install 'clean' version of driver?

This is weird a modern game modern hardware and you have to run it in XP mode?

Im not sure, but you're probably forcing it to DX9 or earlier.

If I were you id uninstall nvidia products (all), download DriverSweeper, clean for ati and nvidia graphics and physx. Then restart. Then reinstall clean version of driver. Restart.

After that its either the RAM, the game (ie reinstall), or windows update.
