Choppy Sound & Graphics on HEARTS game of all things!

So why is my Hearts game (you know, the basic, pre-installed one) so darn choppy? It runs fine for a while, then gets really choppy on the graphics AND on the sound. And it can slow way down, too. (I have issues with how slowly the game runs when it's NOT acting up, anyway - any slower makes it painful!)

Any clue why it's doing this? Is it Vista? Is it my laptop? You'd think something as BASIC as Hearts would run fine...
