frame rates, even on VGA. I have 128 MB SDRAM. What problem do I have?
Is this CPU too fast for GP2?

I play GP2 in VGA mode with ALL details on with a P2/333 64MB and a
Matrox Millennium video card. Works great even in Monaco usually
around 60-70% CPU but goes up to 90 in really cool crashes :)
It works well in Win95 and Dos Mode (Reboot to Dos Mode),
but try yours in Dos Mode first.. Might help you sort things out.

Do a search for fastvid. It may help speed up your video for older
VGA/SVGA games.

It could be a problem with the keyboard, you may need to install a tsr of some
kind something like keyb.com or keyboard.sys... sorry can't remember the
specifics.

Sorry that I can't help you though...
