  1. I too have a Titatnium PB 1GHz G4 with 1 GB of RAM and have experienced the same problem. I have tried installing the latest driver for the Radeon 9000 card from the ATI site (which I think is for the external card and I assume will work for the built in 9000 card of the laptop) and booting in OS 9.2.2, but still no go. Any advice out there or people who have found a fix. (BTW the same applies to CMBO and CMBB) I really...really...really want to play CM on my new PB. I have my PB G3 400MHz to fall back on but, I want to give that to my parents and I can't till I get CM to work on my new laptop. Cheers
  2. Panzer Leader USB Overdrive allows you to choose different button/scroll combinations for different applications and so the answer is Yes, you can set it so that that particular combination works for CMBB only. I have my mouse set for a few different games but it is usually moot as the only game I tend play on my computer is now CMBB or CMBO. Sorry, but I do not know if there is an equivalent Windoze version although I would be surprised if there is not. There are a lot more Windoze progammers and hackers out there. I am not very conversant about the Windoze world and so I will leave it to others to try to answer that part of your question. Cheers
  3. Hi Harry It is actually quite easy to use the scroll wheel to move the views up and down. I have been doing that for ever since I started playing CMBO and now CMBB. I use a Mac Powerbook 400G3 with a Kensington 2 button /scrollwheel mouse and a shareware control panel called "USB overdrive" which allows me to map my mouse function to any keystroke or action. I am sure there must be equivalents in the PC world. The key (sorry about the pun) is that the + and - keys on the number keypad of the keyboard are shortcuts to move up or down a level. Just map your scroll up to eqaul a keypress of + on the number keypad section of the keyboard and scroll down to the - key. I have also mapped my right button to be equivalent to pressing the shift key and so I can scroll view right or left by prsseing right button and moving the mouse to the side of the screen. I realise that in CMBB side scrolling is possible on the lower third of the side of the screen but I still find this useful. The other function I have mapped is by click pressing my scroll wheel and scrolling at the wheel, I use that as camera dip up or down. You could probably work out the best combination for you,eg mapping click scroll to zoom/unzoom. I tend to use a combination of keyboard and mouse when I play and so I always have one hand on the key board using the keyboard shortcuts to move, hunt, target, etc...etc..., therfore I also use ths control click method to jump quicly from spot to spot on the map. Hope this helps Cheers
