    Wink *Old School Psycho Pinball on XP

    Although I finally have a Nice rig now, I still like playing my old school games.

    And one of my all time Favourites has been Psycho Pinball


    The only problem is that i can not find a way for the game to run very well as it will run but it will be stupidly slow

    The game uses DOS, and i have tried setting the compatibility settings that win XP has but still no joy.

    Have also tried using CPU killer with no luck.

    Does any one know what i could do to get one of my all time favourite games working smooth on XP????

    Would be Great if some one could solve this prob!
    Would Especially make my little Bro happy
    Thanks 4 your Posts

    This lets you play DOS games in XP - and I've used it for a few games of syndicate wars recently.

    Heres the info on psycho pinball and some issues others have been having ;
