The game was designed with a resolution of 1024x576, so there will be empty spaces at the edge of the screen if your screen’s resolution differs.
If there is not enough memory as specified by the system requirements or if other applications are open and using memory, the required memory cannot be completely used by the game, so disk access will ensure due to the usage of swap.
In this case, please install more memory in your system.
In this game, there is a large amount of image processing on the CPU, so more processing power is needed.
To reduce the processing needed, in Sound/Effect turn off “Special Effects” and in System set “New Text Settings” and “Old Text Settings” to “None”.
If the performance is still not acceptable, please use a PC with a higher CPU clock speed and higher amount of cores.
