I have a Pentium 2 400 and I just bought one of my all time favorite games X-Com. My problem is that my computer is too fast for this old game and runs it at unplayable speeds. Is there any way I can fix this problem without buying certain software?

You're program is compatible with an older operating system. The only way I can think of would be to install the older operating system on your pc. Like dual boot. Seems alot easier to buy updated software.
