the card tricks in hearts are to fast for me. under options i selected slow speed. this never happens.

Depending on the specs of your computer you may not see the difference. It does the same thing to me however I can notice a difference altho its pretty vague to see the difference. Don't know what else to tell you other than

1. get used to it.
2. opt to play against others online rather than the computer.

by going with the second option you will get to play at player speed and not computer speed.

Hope this helps.

thank's again

I have found that the old version of Hearts from Windows 95/98 runs at a frantic pace on newer faster computers. Newer versions seem to have lags built in to account for this.

thanks for you input

i have hearts version 5.1;
windows xp home edition 5.1 2600;
and compaq pc speed of 1.6 gh

does this combo cause my fast trick pace?

XP SP1 Pro
Hearts 5.1 build 2600 SP1
1.2 Ghz
I have it set on Normal [not Fast nor Slow]
I can really notice the lag as it waits after the cards are played each trick. The Fast & Slow setting don't seem to matter much.
Regards
