So I have bought a brand new computer and with it, the Logitech MX cordless desktop (mouse MX 700). for the first time I am able to play Baldurs Gate, but really I am not. The spellcasting and thievery skills dont work properly. When I press the spellcasting button I goto the spellcasting screen but it disappears after 5 seconds. The same thing happens with detecting traps. After 3 seconds my thief just stops. Also I cant use magic items when fighting like lightning wands and so on. After that I cannot use the buttons at all unless I go to the caracter screen and back, but after 5 seconds the same thing happens again
I have heard that the problem is my cordless desktop and that Im supposed to replug it some other way. 1. I dont know any other way to replug it cause Im no wizz with computers (the mouse and the keyboard are both plugged into the PS2 port via the same reciever) 2. I didnt pay all this money for a new computer to replug my keyboard/mouse everytime I play BG2 or change the hardware setup. I have also heard that I could change the hotkey settings or turn them off. Ive tried removing all of them (the ones that arent fixed) but its not helping. Ca I turn it completely off or what? I desperatly need help. I cannot play the game like this any more (gotten to chapter 3) and Im going nuts here |

Do you have scripts enabled? If your character has a script that makes him do something during a round, then your HUD will revert to its original state. Likely the thief is trying to hide, and your spellcaster is doing something else. If that's not it, the usual advice, patch up fully, though you might also want to see if there are any new drivers for your mouse.

Its not the script that does it. If it was, The spellcasting wouldnt foul up like that. Also sometimes I cant move characters around if the entire group is not picked. It must be a hardware/software problem. I've already patched up and my drivers are updated. As I said, I am pretty sure its the cordless desktop that is the problem (Im not sure if it was here i read it, I can't find that post again) In that other post the guy was told tu do a different plugin with his keyboard/mouse or turn off the hot keys (still dont know how u do that completely)
I cannot believe that I cant play BG II with a cordless desktop. I cannot be the only one with this problem?? DSlaytern] "Dundee says, Family Forum." ![]() Might want to read the Forum Guidelines And FAQ if you have not done so yet. [ 07-23-2003, 11:52 AM: Message edited by: Dundee Slaytern ] |

Does it LOOK like I'm spamming?
(I'd tell u to get lost, since u don't seem to be able to help me and then ask why u post a reply that is so off topic and so very misplaced but since you have posted a million times here b4 I guess u already know that). I'm having a problem playing one of the best games ever so it makes me just a teeny bit angry when someone only posts a pointed finger at me for using the F-word. Feels like someone is kicking me when I'm down. (I guess the term "get a life" fits this moment.) Or maybe even better: U could have spent the time pointing ur finger at me, finding out how to solve the problem. I dont see the point in spending anymore time in here since noone seems to be able to help me and since all I get is a pointed finger. If I had my mace+4 I surely would smash my cordless desktop and get a $5 keyboard that actually works with the game. Great game solution: Buy a new keyboard.

I suggest you drop the attitude and chill Thomas. It seems quite obvious to me that we're all trying to help, but your problem isnt that easy or common, so stick with us and try to follow the rules set by the board. You are after all the one asking for help and we are trying to help you.
