The game is patched? I have the gold edition of the Witcher (with all patches including 1.5) and on my laptop with seven, no problems, none at all. No lag, no bugs, no glitches are observed.

Loaded texture late? The graphics card is not weak? Try poshamanit with the settings of the video driver.
By the way, I had the same problem on the old computer with OS XP because of the fact that put a high priority program memory background instead of the active apps.
Just in case I will write here a solution, which came to me on the GeForce GTX 590 with the new driver 295.73 WHQL (Windows 7 x64).
The essence is that when in-game press the Exit to menu, almost always crash the video driver. Sometimes for 3 seconds to darken the screen, then the driver recovers, but often have to press Reset. Since my video card duchcova, I first decided to try to disable one graphics chip to the profile of the game. And it helped. But since the default in this profile exhibited multiprocessor mode, I concluded that the game still supports SLI and decided to achieve the correct game on two chips. First I tried Alternative construction is frame 2. 20 times tried, crashes in the driver when you exit the menu it was not. Then it happened the flight. Then I put the Alternative construction of frame 1. Then tried 200 times (no exaggeration), and the problem is gone. Then to make sure once again put on a multiprocessor default mode, at the second attempt the driver crashed at the exit to menu from game. Again chose the Alternative construction of frame 1 and again tried several times to go into menu - everything is clean.
I hope this information will help someone.
P. S. the glitch is confirmed with the driver version 296.10, and it happens all the time and not just when you exit the menu, but on the contrary when you enter the game (immediately after loading).
Alternative construction frame 1 again rescued.
Two small questions on the game.
The first question. For some strange reason, I have the opposite of the saving is small kartinochki-screen displays a black rectangle. At first sinned on a glitch pirates(expanded edition 1.4.5.1304, torrent and cracked), but the friend who took installace at me, all perfectly displayed. Both laptops, though the video card I have a GeForce GT 540M with two gigs of memory, and his almost built-in, can't remember exactly, but it is much worse. What could be wrong?
The second question. When you take the potion Blizzard, everything slowed down. The trouble is that Geralt slowed down with them. Actually a question: this is a bug or a feature? If a bug, then I would like to know what could be the reason. Although here is a possible glitch pirates: the aforementioned friend is the same way. Or is it meant to be? What's the point of this potion at all? Plain text is not written anywhere(looked in the encyclopedia of kaer Morhen, and just googled), but from all the posts it appears that only needs to slow down enemies. Or I something not so understood?
Thanks in advance for the answer.
