stuck mouse

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.doom (More info?)

my mouse sticks on start-up page. Nice pic of Mars and a pretty
arrow in top l corner that neither moves nor clicks. It is most
frustrating.

Any ideas?

XP, loads of RAM, MX440-8X 64M 3D card, 2G Hz CPU

Can't see that the patch would fix this, but better do it anyway.
Then I'll go to the pub.

If you click on the screen and this 'unfreezes' the mouse then you are
losing focus at startup.

Mouse doesn't react at all, it's like I unplugged it. Can't find any kb
commands.
Have to use ALT_CONT_DEL to get out

It occurs to me that the 8X means 8 bit. In which case, it won't work.......

Have you got a firewall, a la ZoneAlarm, that would pop-up a warning
that a program was trying to access the internet?
That could cause the loss of focus and you wouldn't see the ZA pop-up.

Next time it happens, try hitting "y" on the keyboard.

You have braught up a very good point - I am running Panda Platinum and have
noticed a few popups. I've been choosing 'allow this time only' (I'm a
little paranoid
these days) so I should re-install and check 'always allow'. It wasn't
totally obvious
that the popup was definitely to do with doom.

In fact I'll try without the re-install :>))

Not sussed it yet, but I suspect a security issue here, rather than
hardware/software.
Put the 3D card and more RAM in today, so must check on other games,
all that kind of stuff. Thanks for ideas - it's been a long wait since one
Sunday
I put a magazine floppy in and hit the DOOM button :>))) Obviously I have
encountered the prequel Boss.
