Okay, I've been around a long time. I don't speak computerese. I just want to play the game, not learn how the game works. I have bought both SPMBT and SPWW2 on disc. I play them on my desktop with no issues. I'm trying to get the games to run on my Dell laptop. It is an XPS M1730 with 4g ram and an intel duo cpu 2.5 ghz with a 32 bit OS, Win 7.

Beyond that I don't know except it's a NVidea G-force 8700 GM.

The problem is the game runs, kind of (both games) in Windows mode I can get scrolling and reasonable movement of pieces. When a piece is fired on it is extremely slow motion. If smoke comes in there will be a long pause, an explosion and then a couple of seconds later the puff of smoke appears.

If I run the game in full-screen it scrolls about ten hexes, stops for a half-second or so, then scrolls 10 more, stopss and on and on.

The game is installed in the separate directory. Can I get some help without having to learn the intricacies of computer programming? I just bought the games to play/
