So, is there a way to fix a DOS game that is running choppy under XP?
Hexen, in this case.
If it helps, my system:
Athlon 2500+ XP
512 ram
Geforce FX 5900 SE

How are you running it?

Very carefully.
I'm new to the whole DOS in XP thing, so basically I'm just double clicking on the file through windows explorer. I also put it in Win95 Emulation and "Run it in 256 color" with no change.

Try using this program:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/
Its a DOS emulator. It will run a lot of old programs very well. You might want to read the readme file first, though.
