Having played and been dissapointed by Aftermath I have gone back to TFTD. However I am having problems running it. I am on a pretty modern system (Win XP, Athlon 2400+, Radeon 9700, 1 Gig DDR Ram, Audigy sound) and the game runs at a million miles an hour! Also, the mouse pointer seems quite unresponsive. How do I slow the speed of the game down to a normal rate? Also, are there any good fan websites out there? Thanks!

Go into your BIOS and start disabling caches.

Get the collector's edition? Or use the dosbox emulator with your (what sounds like) DOS version of the game. -Micah micahdg@xcomufo.com www.xcomufo.com "Jamie_Manic" <email@spam.com> wrote in message news:3f8e5a36$0$8766$cc9e4d1f@news.dial.pipex.com... > > "Micah" <micahdg@xcomufo.com> wrote in message > news:bmlkuk$jvpsp$1@ID-202884.news.uni-berlin.de... > > This this utility: > > http://www.xcomufo.com/turbo.zip > > Thanks that seemed to do the trick...I have had one other problem though, > mouse sensitivity is extremley high and makes scrolling round the map in > particular nearly impossible to do accuratley...anything I can do about > that? > >
