Just guessing (don't use Glidos): * Cache small textures: Instead of using, and then throwing away texture data (picture information), the smaller textures are kept in memory so they are read for reuse if/when needed.

Hmmm... Isn't that what the aspect=true option is for? Try using it with output=ddraw in both windowed and fullscreen mode and see if one of them works for you.

He was referring to my post where I didn't correct you on the installed location of your program. Eh - no. First of Wuhtzu used the strange drive-letters M and H. That makes it half-wrong. Second, he(?) claimed to use f:\install.exe . But F couldn't exist if he mounted the CD as H. More minus …

So - you want to run it in full-screen mode on your laptop? So you switch to full-screen mode with ALT-ENTER, and the game appears in a little window in the center?

The priority sets the priority of DOSBox relative to all the other processes running on your system. If you are on Windows launch the Task Manager (Start => Run... => taskmgr). Go to the View meny => Choose columns => Base priority.
