The popcorn has to be in the next room TO THE RIGHT! It will crash your hard drive if it's in the left room....

That was close!

Now don't go scaring me like that, my new computer has WinXP...

[Fyron]

XP... eww...

What's wrong with XP? Tell me, so I know what can be exploited on my machine, and take steps to correct it! Please, please, please!!!!

Unfortunately I still have the problem. I run the dreaded XP.

There is nothing wrong with Windows XP except, as the name said, you need eXtra Popcorn.

But has the slow ship problem of Slick been fixed?
If I buy a new computer and my old programs run slower than before, I would really be ........ disappointed.

I don't have any problems like his slow ships. Unfortunately, I have never encountered that problem so I can't offer any useful bits of advice, either. (well, unfortunate that I can't help, not that I haven't had the problem..... )

Edit:
Q: Ha ha. "Xtra Popcorn", indeed. Well, at least it wasn't "XXXtra Porn". NO! Never mind, I didn't say that! Ignore it! (I hope I didn't give anyone any ideas.... )

Has anyone else heard of this problem? I had this problem for a short time when I first installed this game on my old computer (win 98) and I did something to fix it. but I can't remember what I did.

I don't know the reason or if can be aplicable to solve your problem, but I found that I had the opposite problem (animations showing super-fast) if I'm playing midi music in the background.
Sometimes it even happens if I had runned a game with midi music before.

I am not a computer expert, but I think more experienced people could help you if you give them more details about your computer and its software.
Is only the ship moving slow or all SE IV? The ship moves in general or only in combat? Any other programs than SE IV running slow?
