I'm trying to get certain games, Master of Orion 2 in particular, to NOT come to a hault when the mouse is moved around.

I recall some months ago I had this problem with Space Quest 4, and through some method I no longer recall,  I got that to work. Unfortunately, I've sinced changed hard drives in my box and didn't bother to back up the config I was using.

So anyway, you're playing the game, and as you move the mouse around, the audio starts to skip and eventually it stops until you allow it to catch up. I'm not sure if this is a result of the box not being powerful enough to run this particular game, or if it's something I can effect through "cycles" and all that other business.

It seems like any time "something" is happening on screen, it slows down the game like crazy. For instance, the  opening movie plays fine.... but at the title screen, the scrolling credits tick by one pixel at a time, and for each pixel movement the audio has to stop...

It's like it can only do one thing at a time.

Sorry I'm pretty new to this... if it's something ridiculously easy.... well sorry then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
