Old program too fast!

[Derek79602+]

I am trying to run an older game on a newer PC. The System Requirements are: "4m MB RAM, a hard disk and a high density (1.44) floppy drive. To fully enjoy the game's color animation, the recommended system is a 386/33 with a color monitor and a VGA card. Note that the digitized video players and the Wood Table display option require 256-color VGA. A complete installation requires about 7 MB of hard disk space."

We have already figured out XP will not run this game. But Win98 or Win95 on a 500mhz machine puts this game into fast forward like a big dog. I heard about a proggy that will slow down the PC to the point where this problem is alleviated. Where can I find this little application? Please help.

Hi Derek.!
I'm sure that you can find something of that nature in an emulation site or something. Long ago I used a program similar to this.

You can check either in :

http://www.zophar.net

http://www.vg-network.com

Or you can browse their forums and make a search and see if someone else have talked or posted about this.!

I will try to find it too.
So good luck!

Compatablilty mode didn't work- but thanks. Mo'slo is what I was looking for. Thanks for your help! (the other programs listed at http://www.geocities.com/kulhain/ were all to old for what I was looking for) I think I'll give mo'slo 4biz a shot. Thanks!
