ship movement slowdown on new computer

[Slick]

Best I can determine is that it's an XP problem. I have it too and have tried everything I can think of unsuccessfully to fix it. I turned off ship movement and use the "movement lines" option instead and this is a pretty good work around. There have been previous threads about this problem, but nothing has fixed it for me.

Slick.

I haven't had ship movement on since I opened the box (envelope). Running XP and haven't seen a problem. Does it only happen with ship movement?

It happens during ship movement in combat and during all strategic moves on main screen.

Have it on XP Pro and dose the same to me..I think it is something with the OS..I'm just living with it

Recently got a new computer and had the same thing happen. I'm discovering that I hate XP for a varierty of reasons.

If you have CD music on and have another non-music CD in the drive - it does cause a major slowdown.

I have XP and don't have problems. Although I only play simultaneous turn games so the ships aren't supposed to move anyway. Can someone describe in more detail what is happening and when? I will try it out and see if I can duplicate it.
