    Default Left click doesn't work

    Hey Gents,

    I just installed this game on a laptop and it seems to work fine, except that my left click function doesn't enable me to move the unit I've selected.

    A few notes of info: I've had this game for years although this is a new disk (I lost my original) and a new installation on a laptop with Vista and 64 bit. Oh, and it's the Gold Edition from Sold Out, if that makes a difference. I tried downloading the patch 1.02 but that didn't seem to do anything. I also tried giving the desktop icon Administrator rights but no difference there either.
    Nor does there seem to be anything that corresponds in the key assignments within the game.

    All the other functions seem to work, like refocusing the camera with the right click and using the left click to select units/formations. But if I select a unit and left click on the map, they don't go to that position. At best all, they'll do is move down the center of the screen.

    Any tricks you guys know to get this to work?

    Hi Asai,

    It's an Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT. I also have Nhancer installer, if that makes a difference.

    In general this is a problem specific to the 8xxx and 9xxx series graphics cards - though I have read recently about some users getting it working on the mobile version of this chip... trouble is I can't actually find the threads now...

    Yes, the information I've been able to glean on the subject seems to focus on the 8000 series video cards, implying that there may be a solution for the problem. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to learn any more than that.

    Okay, I tried using the "software mode" which seems to fix the issue of the left click but I'm left with a rather strange view of the game:



    Makes me wonder what I'm missing....
