Starcraft is Choppy!?!?

So I recently refomatted my computer because it was raped in half by viruses. Fortunately, I love reformatting because everything feels so fresh and clean.

UNFORTUNATELY, my starcraft is running choppily. I don't mean that my internet lags in any way. Rather, the game itself is chopping. Even in single player, I feel my mouse stuttering around. This is EXTREMELY annoying to me. I've closed as many programs as I can on my computer (which really isn't many since I just reformatted) and the choppiness seems to remain.

HELP!?!?!?! :[

Have you tried updating your video and mouse drivers, and also updating windows?

Yea just updating the hell out of everything is all I can think of.
I always miss something when reformatting.

P.S. Just owned up a Terran with your vs Mech build nomnomnom. It was sooo satisfying, thank you! ^^

Try going into options and uncheck "Enable CPU throttling". Disable indexing for all your drives in my computer. Right click a drive in my computer and go to properties. Then uncheck index this drive for faster searching.

How old is your computer? Maybe you forgot to install motherboard drivers? I assume you remembered to update the video drivers, but I can remember times where I've forgotten them and it turned out I was effectively handicapping my video bandwidth by running at AGPx1 or something. I have no idea if this is still an issue with PCI-e but MB drivers are definitely my most commonly forgotten thing.

1st step: go to MY COMPUTER
2nd step: right click on your drive (I only have C: drive) and go to properties
3rd step: uncheck box that says "allow index service to index this disk..."
