Try this page:
http://www.wcnews.com/files.shtml#wcpriv2

Especially the "# Deluxe Edition Speed Fix - by Jonathan Scobbie, Details"

If that doesn't help try "Turbo [Mirror] (50k) - Slowdown Utility for 
Windows". 1% slowdown should already be sufficient to get the built in 
speed limiters back to work (you have some sort of hardware problem that 
prevents the built in slowdown to work. P2 should slow itself down normally)
