MOuse Movement

from GalCiv2 Forums
Cannot use mouse - Logitech Trackball to access Game Start up menu. Cursor wants to stay at top of screen, and only will move
horizontially, in a jerky pattern.

I ma running XP Pro 64 Bit on a Dual Opteron System, with 1 gig of ECC REG Ram, 2 Opteron 240's at 1.4 gig, 2 PAT Drives, and 2 SATA Drives - game is on the 1st SATA Drive - drive G. Has Nvidia Gforce 5200 AGP with 128 MB Video Ram, SB PCi Audigy 2
Card, Plextor CD-RW, and Plextor DVD Drives. Viewsonic VP171B Monitor.

Power Supply is an Enermax 424 WATT.

Any ideas as why the mouse will not work?

Did not have problems with Beta 1 in the area.

Are you running in windowed mode or fullscreen? If you're running in windowed mode, switching to fullscreen should fix it.  The game has code to translate the mouse coordinates from desktop coordinates to window coordinates when running in a window, and I suspect that it is what is at fault.
