How is this for a twist? I am playing a computer game on a pc running
Windows XP and has an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ CPU. The game was written
when computers were slower and some of the timed puzzles are proving
difficult. Is there a easier way to slow a system down? I have tried
setting a lower priority and running programs in the background. Any
other ideas?

I just tried a Google search on "slowdown utilities" Lots of hits.

Thanks. I can't believe I didn't think of that.
