Now that it's just the mouse cursor you're having issues with, did you try changing the "mouseUse" parameter in "[rts]" section yet?
Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion. I got some interesting results, but not how it's supposed to.
I already had my config.ini at mouseuse=2. By changing it to =1, the mouse does indeed now work in the Mains Screen. You can move it around. However, another issue, it seems that the buttons you can see on the screen, are not working. If you click on them, nothing happens. But, here's the odd thing, by randomly clicking on the screen everywhere (I did this because I got so frustrated ... ha ha) sometimes you apparently do find a spot where an (invisible) button gets activated and then you can access a submenu.
I got into Play Track for instance, or the Multiple Player setup. But, there is no way to see where to click exactly. It's like randomly clicking and hoping you'll chance upon the correct button. Which is not the way to get into the air obviously ... ha ha. I dare to think of how setting a mission would work in this way.
So thanks, it's a small step at least.
