Low FPS on NFS MW 2005

[SsRicardoPT]

So 1 year ago I used to get good fps on NFS MW 2005 and now I decided to start playing again and I get 30fps, why?

I´ve tried starting it with mode compatibility for Windows XP and Windows 8 and get 30 fps in both!

My laptop:

CPU Intel Core 2 Duo 2.20Ghz T7500
GPU ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400
RAM 2GB DDR2
232GB Hard Drive
Windows 8.1

It's locked to 30 FPS as a default (gaming HW wasn't great back then).
