Can you tell me how I do that? I'm not that computer smart...

I haven't used the current Windows versions much, so this could be wrong, but I think if you go to the folder where Strive is installed, where the Strive for Power 2.exe file is, and right click on an open space, you will get an option to open the Command Line. It will open a window with a black background and look like this:
C:\Program Files\Strive for Power 2\
Or something like that. Then at the flashing prompt you type 'Strive for Power 2.exe' without the quotes and the game will launch. But in the window it launched from, which you can tab to, the game will display some information at start, and as you play it will include any errors that occur. If you take an action in the game and see an error generated, that could be a bug that you can report, for instance.
If there are a whole crapload of errors, in the thousands, that can cause slowdowns, but if there are not, the issue is somewhere else.
Launching a program that way is actually how it works when you double click an icon, just it has been automated for you and happens out of sight, maybe with some modifiers added as well so the program runs a certain way.
Instead of using 'Strive for Power 2.exe' to open the game use 'Strive for Power 2 - console.bat'. It should be just above it in the Strive for Power 2 folder. That will open the console window when the game starts.
There is also a log folder in your %appdata%/Roaming/Strive for Power 2/mods that will have the same information.
