XP Home Edition

I've gone through all the settings, and nothing i do seems to speed it up, i dont know if its due to hardware compatability, but this PC should be able to cope with a 2D Game.

4 fps means no hardware acceleration takes place. (re)install video drivers

Also, since HW uses OpenGL, you have to make sure your desktop graphics color depth is set to 32-bit or the Intel drivers will NOT hardware accelerate OpenGL. Always been that way for some reason...

Thanks, I've just fixed it, I had to install SP3 which increased FPS a bit, then changed from True Color to High Color, Working fine now
