Planescape: Torment -- the game screen won't scroll... ideas?

[Est]

Never thought i'd finally subscribe to the forums

I'm having a pretty weird bug with PS:T, the game screen won't scroll when placing the mouse cursor on the edge... scrolling with the keyboard still works, though.

what's strange is that if i access any sub-screen, inventory, map or whatever, then go back to the game screen, the problem disappears and for about 15 seconds i *can* use the mouse to scroll the screen... then it stops working again.

It's happened to me on two machines already, so i don't think it's my hardware settings that's causing it.
Oh, i've read the readme for all the patches i found but this wasn't mentioned, and i also nosed around the forum (briefly) to see if this had already happened before, so i'm sorry if i'm bringing up a bug that's already been discussed (a search function would be convenient )

Thanks, any ideas are well appreciated.

This would probably receive more replies in the PS:T forum, so if you have any more questions, even if technical, you might want to post them in the specific game forums after all that's what they're for.
Regarding your question, I seem to recall it being asked before, I'll see if I can dig up the link.

Have you tried re-installing the game? What about your drivers? I've never encountered this problem playing PS:T, so I have no solutions...

edit=> found the link Doesn't seem to offer a solution though

will do

thanks for the quick reply...

ok, i've tried re-installing and it doesn't help, i'm pretty sure it didn't help me last time either (i mentioned playing on two machines, in fact it's because last time i played was about 4 years ago)...

one of the posts in your link does mention rebooting, which seems to solve the problem about 50% of the time. not a final solution, but it'll do... i'll try to get to the bottom of this and post up the details, it might be helpful (?)

oh, and about posting in the PS:T forum, that was my original idea, but then i saw someone had posted some other tech stuff and got told to post here instead... so i guess it's a matter of taste

thanks again!
