  But it still causes and error for me, no many times I have tried to

   MO'SLO does not work that way.  I'm fairly certain it only effects
   the program called, not the general system clock.   You replace the
   call in the batch (or cmd) file
imnc /c
   by
mo'slo.com /x imnc /c
  where x is the percentage of speed you want imnc to have.  Since imnc
  is finished within a few seconds, nothing else is impacted.

 BS> But, it's your system, you can do as you wish.  :)

  Yep -- and I mention it simply in case anyone else is having a similar
  problem with any of the IM programs (or any other legacy programs).
  It is an alternate fix.  It is only in effect while you are running
  the target program.
