About a month ago I wiped my computer and re-installed everything, including my entire Steam account.
About 2 weeks ago I got a new monitor, 1920x1200 up from 1280x1024.

I sat down today to play through Portal, again, but I get frame rates of 2-4 fps. Even with all graphics settings on low, low res and even in a window.
I tried HL2: EP2 and TF2 but get the same result.
All over steam games work perfectly, as does Supreme Commander and UT3. By this I mean frame rates in excess of 100.

Specs:
Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz
2GB RAM
8800GTX 768MB
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer

I have done all I can think of, any suggestions?

Latest doesn't mean best, especially with laptops... i know you're using a desktop, but try some different/older forceware drivers and see what happens.
