It may help if you let us know the specification of your machine and the operating system.

Hi again....... I'm running 750 meg Athlon with 512 meg ram using Windows ME Is this spec too low to run jpemu any answers gratefully recieved :oops:

You have a problem then. Pre Windows 2000 operating system do not run the emulators too well.

You have a good spec machine and lots of memory, but unfortunatley Windows 9x/ME will never be as good as handling machine resources as Windows 2000 or Windows XP. I have checked out the resource requirements for Thunderbirds and it only uses around 30Mb of memory so thats not an issue for you, but it really hits the processor hard and on my machine processor hits go up to 40% (I have a 1Ghz procesor) but I am running Windows XP so this helps a lot.

I have a few sugestions for you.

1. Upgrade to Windows XP (I am sure you didn't want to hear that one!)
2. Try and close all other running applications down before running the emulator. (i.e stop any Virus Programs or other programs running in the task bar)

Hope this helps
