N2 - PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi Guys... I've developed a problem and I don't know what caused it so I don't know where to begin to fix it. I run N2 on a P90 with a Diamond 2000 and it runs reasonably well (18-20 FPS with the important stuff turned on). Last night I put a new computer table in and simply transfered the computer from one desk to the other. The only thing I can think of, that might have had an effect, was that I plugged in the joystick instead of my GP2 and booted N2 with that. I did change it with the computer running (which I know isn't smart (G)). Well now my frame rate has dropped DRAMATICALLY to the point where it's undriveable. What could have happened? Should I run setup again? What could I have screwed up? I have about 510 conventional memory free, which I believe is the same as before, and I have 24 Megs total. I rebooted and recalibrated my GP2 wheel, but the problem remains. As far as I can tell, all other programs function normally. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, as I have a race this week. Thanks in advance for your help! Lou B.

Lou, One time, after being installed for about a year, N2 started doing the same thing to me. I hadn't changed anything. Maybe Win95 loses something, who knows? All I did to get it working was do a complete delete, clean out everything you can find. Then reboot and reinstall. It worked for me, and it still works. Never did figure out what happened, but it works. All the best, Mike -- Michael S.
