A. The Windows installation program on early versions of Discworld II copied some files to the wrong place on your hard drive. If you move these files (see below) to the correct folder the momentary pauses will disappear. Or you can simply run the patch program to correct it automatically. n.b. this problem may only be visible on machines with the minimum specified amount of RAM. See also the following tip for speeding up CD access generally. – There is a folder called CACHE under the folder you installed Discworld II in. The installation program incorrectly copied 21 files (needed for faster access) into a folder called DW2 within the CACHE folder. Simply move the files back to the CACHE folder and the pauses should vanish.
