"Pentium 4 too powerful for BEEB Em", that's what my I.T. department
said when I asked them to try to find out why BEEB Em was running so
slow on a modern Dell computer.


It's using Windows 98, and is + 1GHz. The whole thing is slow, just
running the mouse pointer over the menu bar is sluggish. I tried turning
off direct draw - no luck - I tried running in a tiny window - no luck.
I once had it running perfectly (after adjusting the interface settings
and screen settings) - saved my preferences, all pleased - when I came
back to it - no luck, and not much luck recreating the effect.

Any ideas anyone?
