SMoother Gameplay...

So I've tried everything I know to try and reduce the number of times the game pauses to load (without a little loading area bar at the bottom...I'm talking just random events)

What I'm asking though is how can I get Morrowind to run smoother? I've already pared down the detail in the attempt, but it still locks up every once in a while...I've closed most of the background programs...the ones it will let me close at least. I have also stopped running so much, but whenever I do run for even just a few seconds, the game sort of locks up and I have to wait as much as 15 seconds for it to give me control again...at which time, I am vulnerable to attack...

Any suggestions?

You're running on a PC, correct? What's your RAM, your Windows system, and your CPU?

I'm running a 2.8 Gig P4, 1 Gig of ram, with XP home...

That's odd, because your system is good enough to never stutter like that. Are you running any mods, and if so, which ones?

And do you have anti-virus protection running in the background?

Maybe he's running Intel Extreme Graphics.

Or maybe he has never defragged it.

Make sure all your drivers are up-to-date.
