Default Re: SEIVG Runs s...l...o...w.... on my machine.

Try what's already been suggested: Ship Animation off, CD Music off, remove CDs from the drive. All of those speed things up.

You might also try switching your monitor settings to 1024x768x16 or 24 bit. 24 bit (True Color) is way more than the eye can see anyway, and there's a barely perceptable difference between 16 and 24 bit color. By turning that down, you should be able to speed things up.

Many people have found that SEIV tends to run better on POS machines than top-of-the-line ones, for whatever reason...
