This one is weird, seems all the problems I have are weird anymore so let's see what happens with this post.

Windows XP SP2 with all updates. 2 gigs of memory and hard drive only has 8 gigs of space used. Checked for spyware/trojans and viruses, all clean.

When spider is opened it will deal the cards at a reality decent speed, not fast and not slow but once in a while it will deal them so fast. Then it will go back to dealing them slow. It will do this when no other programs are opened. It changes from fast to slow and slow to fast for no apparent reason.

Now just playing around and don't ask how I happened to come across this but media player was playing in the background and the games deals fast with it playing. So I closed media player and it deals slow again, open media player and it deals the cards fast again.

So what does media player have to do with the speed spider deals the cards? And what can be done to have it deal them fast all the time without media player being opened.

Seems to me the game should deal at the same speed all the time and why would media player cause it to deal fast when it is opened?

Like I said weird.....

Sounds to me like you have set the priority of one of these processes to something other then normal like real time so say the media player process is set to real time it will cause everything else to run slow then when it is closed everything will go back to normal. I would say start there and take a look at that or look for a process that is causing a system spike.
