Of course - all the programmers at Acornsoft were brilliant! ;-)

Indeed. Reminds me of the last Adventure Game I played. That hideous
thing called 7th Guest. I got to some ridiculous puzzle with spiders &
spent a LONG time trying to figure it out. Eventually, solved it by
deleting the game from my system.

Sort of like my current mess with GPL. I've deleted all traces of
Thrustmaster gear.  Awaiting the arrival of a PDPI L4. No racing for
at least a week.

Yikes.

You know it could be the sound card!  I used to run with an
ACM Game Card and never had a "hiccup", as you describe
it.  When I recently upgraded to the SB Live! Value I also
switched to the Gameport and now get the little graphics
hiccups or skips.  Other than that I notice no differnce in
operation between the ACM and the SB Live!

Wierd.

Funny you should mention the ACM. I had an old one handy,
so I installed it in the new PII.  Same deal. "Hiccups". Ripped
the thing out & ordered a new PDPI L4.  If this doesn't solve
the problem, I don't know what to do.

I got my hardware people to install  another Asus motherboard,
swapped everything else at least once, tried drivers like crazy,
etc.  Man o man.  Wasting all this time with hardware when
there's RACING to do...:-(

I've got another word for it...:-)

Thanx for the input.
