Mouse works in windowed mode, but not full screen mode

[Tellulah]

<p>Hi guys,</p><p>I've recently re-installed eq2 onto my system with a 'new' graphics card - nvidia7800.</p><p>When I load into full screen, the mouse disappears if i dont use it, and when i do use it, it appears with a box around and flashes on/off.</p><p>When i go into window mode, this corrects itself. Go back into full screen and i get the same problem. </p><p>I've checked the drivers are all up to date etc.. - has anyone any ideas i can try please (other than play in windowed mode) :)</p><p>Thanks in advance!</p>

What make/model mouse do you have?Is there software you need for it?

I have a USB Advent, model MO51BO - this is the 2nd mouse i have tried - original was a PS/2 compaq supplied with the PC - i had the same problem with both, but only in full screen eq2 - everything else is fine <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/136dd33cba83140c7ce38db096d05aed.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

From what I can find (not much) this seems to just be a generic mouse, so I do not believe software can be found and installed for the mouse.Have you tried unplugging and replugging the mouse back in during gameplay?How about using a different USB port?

<p>I've tried switching USB ports, same problem <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I've done a full file scan, but again, didn't make an improvement either <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

What are your resolution settings set to for windowed and fullscreen?What is your desktop resolution?

[Tellulah]

resolution all round set to 1280x1024 - i'll try changing res see if that helps

[TSR-TrevorG]

OK, let me know.

[Tellulah]

bah... changed the full windowed resolution to 1024x768... still the same <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/499fd50bc713bfcdf2ab5a23c00c2d62.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />i'm not sure what to try next <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

ok, didn't find out what the issue was with the mouse, but had to re-install windows due to another reason - this seems to have fixed the issue.<div></div><div>TSR Trevor - thanks for your help anyway - pies, beer & pizza are in the post <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></div>

TYVMI will send others here a couple slices, but will horde everything else <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
