Hi Jammy Dodger. I also couldn't find your old Apothecary thread. I see that your previous posts are from March this year, referencing playing R:TW, so this problem has cropped up in the last 2 months?
I don't pretend to be a tech expert, but maybe I can help you get started.
First, I assume:
1) You have updated and run antivirus & spyware programs to insure you don't have a nasty bug invading your PC.
2) This is exclusively a R:TW problem. You notice no other programs malfunctioning or displaying incorrectly.
3) You have recently run ScanDisc & DeFrag, so that your file structure is 'tight', not scattered all over your HD.
I remember seeing other members mentioning "mouse trails". I don't recall what fixed them (One guy bought a new vid card; that solved his problem).
So, to find out what's under the hood of your machine, and what might not be working right, click:
Start, then Run, then type: dxdiag and click OK.
On the window that pops up, keep clicking "Next Page" and run the various tests shown. When you've run them all, click "Save All Information" (creates a text file - remember where it is located). Find that .txt file, copy it & paste it here in this thread.
These tests and reports often point out areas of concern, and there's a good chance someone here will be able to diagnose and treat your issue.
Good luck.
