AlleyCat Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I just purchased and installed CMBB. However, my mouse pointer doesn't work. I can get to the game's splash screen and that is about it. I have a Dell 8100 P4, 1.7 GHz (lucky me, right! Apparently Dells aren't taking kindly to this game!) with a 64MB DDR Nvidia GeForce 3 4X AGP video card, running Windows XP Professional, 256 MB Ram. My mouse is a MS Intellimouse Explorer. After reading the manual, I upgraded the Intellipointer software to version 4.1. The problem didn't clear up. I looked at my current video driver and it's version 3.0.8.7, dated 9/26/02 (I try to stay current with system updates from MS). The Dell website has a driver for this card that's over a year old so they are no help. I looked at NVidia's website and the latest driver is dated 8/7/02 (v. 30.82). Some questions: Where should I get video drivers for my system? Can I use the drivers provided by Nvidia? I was under the impression that video cards that come with a Dell system might be modified to their specs and I should get drivers only from Dell. In my case I think my driver is current (I can't explain the difference in version numbers - my system indicates v. 3.0.8.7 provided by Nvidia versus v. 30.82 as stipulated by Nvidia at their web site). Anyone else saddled with the same issue? I would love to get to my game. I would appreciate any comments. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Your card has a nividia chipset,and the 30.82 are the latest certified drivers out there. I have used the drivers on dell systems and they work fine,(I think even better then Dells). Hoipe this helps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankist Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Have you tried it with a plain, standard-mouse driver? Do you use custom mouse pointers? If yes, try to deactivate them. Tankist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlleyCat Posted November 5, 2002 Author Share Posted November 5, 2002 You guys are geniuses! I deactivated all of my pointer options (pointer trails, etc.) and I am able to run the game, apparently fine. I guess I'll leave well enough alone and get to playing the game. Thanks for the assist!
