Strange mouseclick problem with MTW VI Gold

[Tony Furze]

I ve not been able to play MTW for a few months because of an irritating mouseclick problem.

Everytime I try to select units or buildings in campaign mode I get several units/buildings instead of one.This only happens with MTW, no other game.The game played fine until I increased the Ram to 512 which I think should make no difference.

Need help as Im missing my favourite game...and discussing on the forum.

Eh, hardware changes do stuff like that. If you don't mind, a reinstall ought to fix that.

Thanks,CrossLOPER.

I don t have it installed at the moment,and I ve re installed several times. Sometimes it starts off acting normally, then after a few turns plays up again.

Just a shot in the dark here, but is your mouse fancy? Did it come with any software? Sometimes Logitech mice, for instance, come with software that lets the mouse do special tricks in applications.

Does your mouse require a special driver? Anything special about the interface between it and the OS?

[Tony Furze]

I think you ve hit it, Lemur. I do indeed have a Logitech mouse. Do I change it, or can something be done with the "special tricks"?

[Lemur]

I've never used Logitech's custom software, so I can't give you any meaningful advice. But here's my idea -- find any and all drivers related to the Logitech mouse, and uninstall them. Then re-install the driver for the mouse only. Don't re-install any other software.

I would rate this as having at least a 20% chance of fixing your problem.

I don't know how I missed that Lemur. NEVER USE SPECIAL SOFTWARE. Whether a mouse or monitor, don't use it.

Thanks a H U G E amount,Lemur and CrossLOPER.

I ve set up the mouse and it seems okay. Tomorrow I ll let you know after I ve re install MTW Gold.

All the very best.
