: Well, Warp, is there a way to slow a system down to get this thing to work?

  There might be programs out there which slow down the system (by making
idle loops), but I don't know how well they work (specially for DOS programs).

  You could also try slowing the computer by disabling external cache,
internal cache or both. (If you do this, you'd better boot directly to DOS,
as the computer will become slower than a 486 and running Windows in this
mode is quite a pain.)

  Some BIOSes allow you to underclock the CPU, but I'm not sure if they allow
to underclock it so much that it will make a difference with respect to the
DOS program.

  I don't think there's a perfect solution (except fixing the program itself,
which can be quite difficult).
