CPUKiller. smile Try it.
Or select speed slower (if it's about tactical speed, in combat)... Speed must be not a problem on win-version. I haven't any - and I have P4-3500.

the only problem im having is yes.. combat speed.. is way to fast.. well.. my mouse scrolling.. it doesnt really bother me about the movement or the shooting.. but its the whole screen scrolling things.. its just way to fast.. so i have to use the MAP to select my guys or to attack whatever is there.. so.. any suggestions?

Did you already slow down tactical speed? All speed settings (along with "Save game" button smile locate under big "?" button in tactical mode. I personally easy use even maximum 5 speed scrolling, but try slower settings. smile

BTW, buttons "next/previous guy" along with flashing alien numbers (click on it smile give you more handy centering than map. wink
