    clock speed
    « on: July 30, 2008, 01:40:07 PM »
    Hello All,
    I am running an old DOS program in DOS on a windows 98 machine, and it used to work just fine, but recently has been running way to fast (it is supposed to present images for a certain lenth of time, and they are much too fast.)  If anyone has any thoughts about why this might have happened, or anything I could do to slow it back down again, I would be very happy.  I have tried looking in the BIOS for a place to slow down the processor, but that isn't an option on this machine (its an older Dell, perhaps an inspiron 4000?). 
    Thanks!
