BeebEm won't run properly on Windows 98. Upgrade to Windows 2000 or any
NT environment and you'll find it runs just fine. However, I want someone
to tell me how to load disk and ROM images into it, no one has yet replied
yet? Anyone?
Thanks,
Fiaz.

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?
