My Army Men are dying!!!

I’m not a 1337 g4m0r or anything, but I scooped up the PC version of Army Men: World War a few days ago, after I saw it deeply discounted and remembered digging the original PS version awhile back.

The problem: When I’m playing the game (in either “Battle” or “Campaign” mode), the mouse cursor “sticks” as I try to move it around the screen.

I’m using a Logitech USB optical mouse on an KDS notebook (PIII 850). I’ll have to check my video card when I get home, but I believe it’s an ALi 8mb.

I installed it on my GF’s 400 mhz Celeron (with a ball mouse) and it works fine. Nearest I can figure, the USB mouse is sucking too much power for the video card to handle during game play.

I lost the PS2 adapter for the mouse… would running out and getting one solve my problem, or should I look for something else?

If it’s the video card, I’m screwed.

Your help is appreciated. This game is like crack.

Danke.

FWIW, the PS2 adapter did the trick.

Glad you solved the problem. I’ll close this now.
