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) -- WINDOOF-KOMPROMISS-ERROR: Wollen wir nochmal darรผber reden? [Delete the karl after the @ to avoid my spam trap]
