	Mouse freeze with Win 2k Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Does anyone here know why the mouse cursor constantly freezes for indefinite periods of time when running MOO2 under Win 2k?

I have not played it inW2K, but I see mouse hangs for some screens now in XP. Holding the ENTER key down lets me move the mouse then with some control.
There is a mouse application that is suppose to address that.
It is called OrionXP. It just disables direct draw. It enables it after you are done. This can be done via the MSCONFIG or DXDIAG in XP, not sure about W2K. They have the same kernnel so.....

I have the same problem in ME, but it does work sometimes.

ACK!

I found that the right-click can release the mouse sometimes too ...

	Suffering from ads?

I found that, realplayer was making it funky. Also if the mouse seems to stick the first time, I just hit exit and try again, that usually does the trick.

ACK!

I have the same problem on win98, i guess moo2 was never meant to live past '95

The only way I found to get round it was regular saving, and alt-tabbing to close the game, you can restart without reboot. I found you the game started to get slow and stutter before it crashed...

	Full PM-box? Change here!

I Think I know how to fix that:

Goto Start
Run "Dxdiag.exe"
Goto display
disable Directdraw acceleration

This should fix the problem (it worked for me )

Yes, it works indeed but there are some more problems with it under win 2k like crashing when trying to move colonists from the in-colony screen and others like that. Now the game needs some more patience to play .... Long live the autosave :-)
