After installing GalCivI II on a Gateway Media PC, the computer would not allow interaction with the desktop (via right-click) and would stall after more than 10 or so attempts at mouse interaction was made. Performed a complete re-installation of OS, drivers, etc and then checked to ensure all was up to date. Then, re-installed GalCiv II. Am about to re-try the game. If you don't hear from me, soon, this is a problem. If you do hear from me, the issue was likely a s/w conflict of some sort. Will begin re-installing all app's, and the attempt running GalCiv II after each to see if any of the biggee's was an offender.
