FWIW: I too had the same problem, but tracked the cause of it to ICQ!
Similar system w/PII 333 & win95.
Like you, a quick reboot restored normality. Besides its not a bad thing to reboot WIN95 every now & then.

Re: A strange effect?
I experienced this also. It is different from turning off ship animation. You do actually see the ships moving. It is just that they are very fast. I had it happen in a game after running it for several hours. I had played for a while, left it going for most of a day, and when I returned, the movement was fast. I played for a while longer, quit the game and shut down the computer. The next day the movement was slow again. I would very much like to know how to get the fast movement. I like to see the animation, but the normal speed is too slow for my liking.

Re: A strange effect?
I'm pretty sure there is an option for
this. My animations are always very fast.
If I *blink* I'll miss them. For example,
I have my transport minister turned on,
and I see like 7 screens of transport ships
flying around in less than a second.
Literally. FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
**OVER**
Next turn...

Re: A strange effect?
Whenever I use my modem if I don't restart my computer the ships move very slowly. I don't have a clue why my modem has anything to do with this but it has been happening since the first Version I tried demo .56. So everytime I check the messageBoards I reboot and there is no problem.

Re: A strange effect?
I thought the ship animations were moving faster because I'd loaded the patch (I only started seeing this after loading 1.11). Although I also recently saw the ship animations slow down again.
I haven't bothered testing to see what causes either condition, nor have I tried to figure out which condition is "normal".
Long live the Moebius Consortium!
