Heelllloooooooo?  I'm not talking about running it in OS/2 or DOS.  I'm talking
about Win '95.  All I know is that I'm glad they included a DOS version on the
CD.  When I run it in Win '95, THe video sequences are choppy and the music
stutters.  I've checked all my CD ROM settings and such in WIn 95 and still get
the same results.  I have a Micron 486DX4/100 and 16 M of RAM.  What more deos
it want?  There's a problem somewhere.
