I downloaded last night, it runs, but at about 0.4 fps - i.e. 2.5 seconds *per frame*! I assume I did something wrong. I did a fresh install of D2 (windows version, not DOS - does that matter?) and then unzipped the d2x-xl download into the descent2 folder. System Win 98SE ECS KT600-A mobo AMD Sempron 2800+ 500MB Ram FX5200 video Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold Any ideas what I did wrong? Thanks Mark
