However, it doesn't really : help much. I even reduce the frame rate to 10 (default is 15). Is there any : problem with my CD-ROM drive or sound card. One more thing, the game always : halt for 1 second at some parts of the game but it still go through. Sounds like we are having the same problem. Perhaps we can locate the problem. I use the following hardware: Intel 486 DX-2 Mitsumi FX-001D DoubleSpeed CD-ROM Soundblaster 2.0 CH Flightstick Pro - attached to Soundcard Gameport on VLB-Controller disabeled I tried nearly _every_ possible setup in Rebel Assault - teh only thing, that works is, using only a mouse - _no_ joystick. Perhaps it is the CH-Flightstick ???? Robin _______________________________________________________________________________ cand.
