Choppy Frame Rate is giving me a headache

My husband and I just started playing STOL last month. At first everything was fun and we actually are enjoying the game. But this last week my computer started having issue with the Frame rate. It is shuddering up and down and giving me a headache. I tried playing with it like that but after 30 min I had to stop playing. My husband tried lowering video settings, installing updated drivers and DirectX but nothing helps. He is just short of buying me a new graphics card just like his cause it's having no issue. Does anyone know what could be done without having to spend money for a new card?

Husbands computer is running an ATI Radeon HD 4600 series
My computer is running an Nvidia GeForce GT 240

    Since the issue has not been present from day one, you might want to consider that it is a external (from the game) issue.

    Have you installed any applications that is perhaps using some resources in the background?
