Help, I am having problems running Windows 95 games. I have been playing Quake on the internet for a while now and I keep on getting points in the game where it freezes for a second or two. When I play another Win95 game such as Need for Speed 2, or Super EF2000 they also freeze the same after a few minutes. It seems that the time between when it freezes are the same say about two minutes or so. BTW NFS2 and EF2000 are played without connecting to another PC, they are played stand alone. Please help if you can, this is really getting me down. :o( Ad. aka Wac.

I was under the impression that EF2000 could only be played in DOS
according to the readme files, have you tried this.

I know, I had that problem too. It seems to be from the way stuff got installed. What I did was to just reinstall everything. > >I have been playing Quake on the internet for a while now and > >I keep on getting points in the game where it freezes for a second > >or two.
