I bet it does! I'll be sure to try that out. I haven't really looked through system.ini thoroughly (although I've been using Win95 since it's beta days) and I was wondering if there was a setting for that. BTW, I reinstalled UniVBE 2.0 w/o registering it, and lo and behold, it works again! Executor seems to go the same speed, but the game that stopped working, Duke Nukem 3D, now works again, at almost double the frame rate!
