Hmmm. Are you in Win95? My machine will do those 4 - 5 sequential pauses that
last about a second each. Then all will be smooth for about 3 - 5 minutes until
it does it all over again. It is a Win95 "problem/limitation/sacrifice" 
(whatever you want to call it). Any game I play is subject to this. Microsoft 
knows about this situation, so I have read somewhere on the internet. I did 
find a way to get rid of those Win95 "pauses". I bought Win NT 4.0. It runs
Diablo smooth as silk. No pauses, skips, or any problems. Before getting NT, I 
installed Diablo on my Win95 HD. It had those "pauses" and the cd would mess
up when thoses "pauses" occurred during cd access. NT fixes all that. So, there
is light at the end of the tunnel.
