Re: OS Question
I have not noticed this when I upgraded from Win 98 to XP. I have noticed a speed up and slowdown of SE4 in Win98 if Media Player has been run before. Check XP settings, reboot, upgrade drivers, etc, but you know all that. This would be a tough one for MM to tyr to nail down, so poke around your system and then let us know what you can find.

Re: OS Question
turn off animate ship combat
turn on fast combat
enjoy
(the speed difference is most likely due to difference in graphics cards and cpu's for work vs home)

Does anything run faster on XP?? I thought it was pretty much normal that any new OS from MS would slow your system down. |

Well, my 3D stuff runs faster on XP. I believe W98 had a limit of 256MB ever able to be allocated to one app. That's a restraint in a lot of 3D programs. With XP, my apps will suck up the full GB (or whatever is unused)...  .
