compatiblity mode. turn all the extra memory settings and shti like that on.

look on that. and it does wonders. and really strong point on xp

incase ur wondering, make a shortcut to the program, rite click on the shortcut and go properties.
go through the tabs till u find somthign wit 'run in compatiblity mode' select dos, or wuteva,

and keep looking at all the other s*** like extended memory, etc etc.
