Main problem was gamespeed was way too fast. However this problem rings a bell. This was a common problem for people installing on lap tops with speedstep enabled. When the game installed or first ran or something the processor would not be working at full pelt so the game detected a slower processor than in reality was in the machine. So when you played and the game demanded full processor the speedstep sped up the processor and hence the game ran too fast. Or something like that. Are you by any chance running dual/quad core with some sort of processor management thing going on? -- sid RLU 300284 Mandriva 2008.1 X86_64 2.6.24.7
