Hey, I dunno if anyone else has had this happen, but I run NR2 on a P200
with 16 RAM, full install under win95. I've played with the frame rates
and my problem doesn't seem to have anything to do with it...

While in the program I seem to get a regular jump...like a pause in teh
system every 5 minutes or so.. it pauses for a second four straight
times, then continues on like nothing had happened. I've looked all over
for a reason, and can find none, I think it may be in my machine as I
seem to notice it while playing mechwarrior Mercenaries also...

Any thoughts or Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You either need to diable TCP/IP protocol in your network setup or put in a
fictional address of 1.1.1.1 & 1.1.1.1

You have it set fot autodetect which win '95 checks every 5 minutes four
times. This is your pause.

If you are playing while in Win95 and you have a "dial-up" network setup
for your Win95 system, this is usually the cause for the hiccups.  Every
once 'n awhile Win95 stops everything and "polls" the network to see if
it's alive.  Two solutions:

1)  Run in pure DOS mode

2)  Create a new Hardware Profile under System Properties.  In this new
profile "disable" the "dial-up" network.  This is done by "unchecking"
the box in the Network Adaptors -> Dial-Up Adaptor for your "new"
profile.  From now on when ever you boot up Win95, it should prompt
for the profile to load.

        If you are playing under Win 95 and you have Win 95
file and print sharing turned on, I've heard that it tickles the
network every five minutes or so.  This may be what is happening
to you.

You might also make that your screen saver is disabled thru your shortcut.

You must have a network installed.  Papy couldn't help when I had same
problem.  I fixed it by turning off LM announce and Browse master under
control panel : network : File and printer sharing.
