That sounds more like a video card problem (not really a problem, just that 
its probably slow).  Do you have a VESA card?  How many frames does it do per 
second.  It may not be your video card, it could also be your CPU.  There is 
no software you can run (unless you have better DOS video drivers) that will 
help you out in this case.
