I just purchased OOTP5 and can play the game somewhat but my big problem comes when trying to sim games.

When i start my season and sim the first gm, it takes forever (more than ten mins) so i hit ctr/alt/del to end program, then when i reload the gm, the results are there from the gm i simmed, but when this happens with each sim...

My friend seems to think my computer just won't handle this gm...

here is some info on my CPU, could ou please let me know if i am doomed to be unable to play, or if there is something i can do to make this gm run better..

I close all programs when playing...I, think (im not very computer literate)..i've been trying to follow your steps.

3d and sound turned off

i got this off my system diagnostics, hope its enough info..

System
Product.......Compaq PC
Processor........AMD-K6(tm)-2/at475 MHz

COMM.

I hope you can please give me a definitive answer with this info, but i can try to find more if you need it...

thank you very much in advance for your help..

I see two issues:

-RAM(you have the bare minimum to run the game and NEED to upgrade).
-OS,Windows 98 isn't very good at memory management and the game will run slower.

This may help, but not much with your current setup.
