gpl and frozen mouse

Hi, just picked up GP L and spent the first hour reading the excellent book - Strategy Guide, so imagine the dissapointment when I try to load GPL and my mouse is stuck. I can type my first and last name but that is it??? Bizaare - never had this before. Any help or advice would be great... thanks Rob

forgot to mention I am using P 3 and Voodoo 3 3000... In article <399f9a2d$0$756$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] (Rob Jenkins) wrote:

Do you have a serial mouse? If so, you should be able to fix this by adding the following to the app.ini file found in your GPL directory: [ Communications ] disableDirectConnect = 1 ; Disable Direct Connect The lines are case sensitive so make sure you enter them exactly as I stated. The only side effect is that you will not be able to race multi with a Null Modem cable. Mortado "Regrettable...

I regularly experience this "frozen mouse "too - so much so that I've given up on GPL and am on GP3 all the time instead.And its a PS/2 mouse. druidh "Mortado Filth" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Sun, 20 Aug 2000 07:41:59 GMT, [email hidden] (Rob > Jenkins) wrote: > > >Hi, just picked up GP L and spent the first hour reading the excellentbook - > >Strategy Guide, so imagine the dissapointment when I try to load GPL andmy > >mouse is stuck.
