[comp.windows.ms] SimCity / Windows ???

Good Morning Folks ,

Question on SimCity running with Windows ....

I installed it over the weekend and started to
try it out , works great, but I noticed something
strange .... it ran slow ( on graphics ) ... ummmm.

So I dropped out of Windows and started it up
from DOS .... runs nice ( graphics fast ). Back into
windows I go ... it runs slow...

I created a PIF file ( at first I hadn't ) and
tried again ( still slow ). 

On the PIF file , I tried to make everything as
exclusive as possible ( including video ) , but
nothing seems to make the graphics go any faster.

Any suggestions , I suspect it has to do with W3 and
SimCity wanting video memory , but I'm not sure.
Any help is appreciated ,

Thanks ,

Jim Langston
