Originally posted by Sazerac: Also: running in Hardware mode when you have a small amount of VRAM (less than 16MB) can cause a slight amount of "dragging". If it's annoying, switch back to software mode. Software mode makes the game run faster, but you won't get the better blended graphics and lighting effects that way. One other hint to help prevent dragging behavior: if you haven't defragged (optimized) your hard drive, do so ASAP. Windows has a built-in defragmentation program called "Disk Defragmenter". You can get to it by following these steps: 1) At the desktop, click "Start" 2) Point to "Programs" 3) Point to "Accessories" 4) Point to "System Tools" 5) Click on "Disk Defragmenter" Even if it tells you you don't need to do a defrag (Windows is BAD about that), even a small percentage of fragmented files can slow down a drive. Make it go through a full defragmentation. I've also noticed that defragmenting your drive on a regular basis (once a week!) helps cut down on the annoying "crash to desktop" behavior. It's a Windows problem more than a W&W one. -Sazerac

Done the defrag and it worked! thanks!
