I will do a little bit of search on this and if I find something for you then I will send you an email with information. Spencer,

It was the first thing I noticed when I tried dosbox. I had to then increase the frame cycles to 4500+ and it was then smooth and also could run the game full screen. Please increase the cycles to 4500+ and let me know if it works or not. Steve,

If yes, that should take care of your problem. If not, can you run the game directly from CD from inside DOSBox? Here is what you should do type the following:- mount D "E:\" -t cdrom Then switch to D and try to run your game. niall,
