That pretty much says it. The app/game can run quite well but drives me insane trying to use the pointer to click on hotspots. Sometimes the pointer is only visible when it rolls over a hotpiont and lights it up. Otherwise, the application runs quite well. Examples this week are CIV 4 COLONIZATION (but not CIV IV), GUILD WARS (prob the worst). Earlier games like AGE OF WONDERS 3 seem to work fine. I do see this mostly in games.
The other issue I have a lot is that I can install and run a game from the CD/DVD but then the game will not play as it cannot see the disk it just booted from and claims it is not in the DVD drive.
What is causing these and can anything be done? I have tried all the usual compatibility fixes. I have even run them on a VMPlayer XP emulator with no success.
It reminds me of the issues with DOOM TRILOGY on WIN XP. That was dos driver issue for the mouse. However, this problem occured right out of the box before and after updates installed.

GRAPHICS EQUIVALENT = 256 MB ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT or better, 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS or better, or Core i3 or better integrated graphics (it uses the integrated graphics chip i3) Systems Requirements Labs says these should run on it.
