It's not an issue of CPU speed.

You may want to try setting the shortcut properties for Win95/98
compatability.  If that doesn't work, try turning down the sound
hardware acceleration.  You can do that through DXDiag (under the audio
tab), or via the control panel. CP->Sounds and Audio Devices->Audio Tab,
then click the "Advanced" button under sound playback, Performance tab,
then adjust the hardware acceleration slider, trying to move it one
notch at a time.

Would this method work for Privateer II?

You know what... I'll have to go check again.

More likely not. What problem do you have with the Darkening? Is the 
whole game too fast or only the movies? In any case it would be 
recommended to use a slowdown utility like TURBO and reduce the CPU 
speed by only 1%. This is usually sufficient to get the built in speed 
limiter to work again.
