I'm assuming you've made the jump and are trying to navigate the wormhole.  
Given that, try and make the run at a speed of 10-15, at least with the
basic ship.  Keep the cursor (if I remember the game right) nudging the inside
of any curve of the wormhole.  (I assume you're navigating with the mouse.)

If this doesn't help, try FTPing a copy of SpeedChopper or Sludge from 
36.44.0.6 (the Sumex archives.)  This will let you slow your machine down.
