Quote:... If you don't want to use the arrow keys to move, why, exactly, are you playing older games? Lots of older games require arrow key movement... and I can't imagine what the problem could possibly be with it, either... they're there for a reason!
Most of those older games don't have mouse look. And the default function for the left and right arrow keys it to MOVE left and right, rather than TURN left and right.
Quote:As for the graphical glitches you're talking about, I have no idea. The only time I've noticed anything is when I try to alt-tab out and back; that turns the whole screen black and you can't fix the problem without quitting. I'm sure that there's something at the forum I linked which can help you though... oh, and are you using the patch or not?
It's not just the screen turning black, which I can be "wiped away" by clicking on something that changes the screen, but the graphics going insane and causing the game to be unplayable. As in, everything's so slow that I can't move and the graphics so messed up that I can't see anything. The former happened the first time I booted it up, the latter happened the next two times.
