Why don't you ask your friend?

As SteveG has already pointed out, there's nobody here who is likely to help you, since most of us don't do that sort of thing.

I'll give you one tip though - check what background tasks (TSR's) you are running and disable anything you don't actually need.

That's it - anything else you want to know, I suggest you ask in a more relevant forum.

Hi guys,

I was playing this 'pong' game, y'know, and it seems to run awfully fast - this guy named David Johnston keeps kicking my ass all over the court......

:D
<hee-hee-hee..... ducking....>

Aw, c'mon, AMSG..... since everyone here has the pong game, I just figured I could get some pointers on kicking Dave's butt...

I don't know about kicking his butt, but I've been able to get around 4 points against my computer a number of times. Naturally there are 4 balls all doing the weird, unpredictable, whatever it's called thing. Plus we each use the smallest paddles and I just move it back and forth really fast... So basically I'm just getting lucky, but it gets me closer.

We use to have the pong game and it also came packages with a Duck hunting/Skeet shooting game. The shooting game worked off of a light. I figured out that when the Skeet or Ducks came out on the side of the screen, that I could point the handheld gun at the lamp beside the couch and pull the trigger. It would kill the duck/skeet and my brothers and sisters never were the wiser. Needless to say, I was the "shooting king" in my house. Evil Good Luck Voodoo
