Cant use my abilities?

FireLighter · Post by **FireLighter** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 2:53 pm

I just moved and we have a different computer. This one has wireless keyboard/mouse and I read somewhere that the game doesn't work with it so I switched it out for my old keyboard and mouse.

When I started new, I tried to click on my thieves abilities/spells (mage/thief) and it just unhighlights and says stopped detecting traps if I clicked that particular icon... Any input on how to stop it from not letting me select icons with the keyboard/mouse?

(I also tried with the wireless accessories, same thing.)

Have you installed the appropriate mouse software? Otherwise, certain choices may be made for you about the buttons--and that just may be the problem.

Wireless probs?

This reference was posted here previously. I've never had the problem, myself, so I don't know if it's this, but there are some suggestions there.

Thank you Stramoski and Fable, my abilities tabs etc are fine now that i updated my drivers. But, unfortunatly a new problem arises, my game is now very slow. The actual game screen is slow, the inventory screen and options screen etc is fine and at normal speed. Mouse movement, the little clock that ticks back and forth is slow, and movement is slow (sluggish is a better term). Im not sure what the problem is now although I think it may be something with the updated driver? I remember something like this happening to me before but then something weird was happening and when I would play it would take a screen shot every .5 seconds or something and made it very sluggish. Im not sure how that got corrected, I just left it alone for about a month and it didnt do it anymore. So anyone with help on how I can fix this new problem? (New computers are way too much hastle).

What's your video card?

Its something like an AGP (Advanced Graphics Processor) that was factory installed, although im sure its not that as it was fine before I installed the new driver for my wireless keyboard/mouse. But thanks for the quick reply.
