Sorry about the last post, user error. Anyway I am having the same problem w/my 486DLC40 cpu. The game runs for at most 10 seconds then it hangs. I've tried a clean boot and it doesn't help. But I did find that I can run it under windows NT. I can tell it is a little slower than running in dos (at least from what I can tell in the 10 sec dos game) but at least it runs. Any fixes would be appreciated. -Daniel -- ------------------------------Detatch-Here----------------------------------- Daniel Kramer dan...@netcom.com : Personal E-mail, Los Angeles, Ca. dan...@visionart.com: VisionArt Design and Animation
