I have reinstalled GPL on my new system. One thing I have noticed is that in N2002 and Neverwinter Nights, the framerates freezes from time to time for a fraction of a second. Could this be caused by the speed patch for GPL? GPL seems to run just fine. Here are my specs: P4 2.24 512 DDR PC2700 ram Asus Ti4400 vid card (29.42 drivers in Win98 and WinXP) Creative Audigy Directx 8.1 2x 40 Gig Seagate HD DVD ROM The hiccups occur in both Win98 and WinXP. Virtual memory seting in Win98 is 1024 MIN and 1024 MAX. Opinion? Thanks in advance! -- Philippe "Philster" Sergerie

I remember something about putting in a dummy static IP or else Windows would poll the network connections and cause the same problem you describe.
Turn down the Creative sound card acceleration in Windows XP, trying one notch left at a time. That has fixed several problems. And make darn sure you've got the latest drivers for both your sound and graphics cards. Also check to see if there are any updates available for your BIOS and motherboard. -- Chris H.
