Goto your driver control panel and set it manually and globally for all apps to the setting which is capable of realising good frame rates on your particular system. AA can cause big FPS hits if set too high, or indeed set at all on some video cards.

Setting AA as described will over ride applications settings for all apps as far as I'm aware. Nvidia card drivers are set to "Application Controlled" by default. The settings look like x2, x2Q, x4, x8, x16 etc.  

x2Q is what I always used up to the GF 6600GT series card, the 7900 series can handle x8 or x16 no problems.
