It's working! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

I took the Memorex mouse completely out of the Device Manager and installed the Compaq and it's drivers from the hardware list.
Last night I just plugged it in and the Compaq was still using the Memorex drivers.
I am in the game !! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Cool - I can remember not so long ago someone might not have been able to figure it out. I'm working on it QoH. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Glad the mouse is working and you're in the game. Have fun with it.
With that DirectX 8a: It's always best to wait a while when a newer version of anything comes out. It's not always best to update drivers. etc. as soon as they become available (with the exception of AV updates, I suppose). Wait a while, see if there are any bug reports, reviews, etc., then make the plunge if you wish. I'm still using 7a on this system--if it works, don't fix it. I could put 8 on this one, and it will probably work, and then again it might blow it out of the water. Like I said, if it works don't 'fix' it.

The DirectX8 was having the mouse problem too. I'll stick with this. It's working great.
I found the refresh rate! I had forgotten to look for that after installing the drivers for this NEC. It was on optimal so I changed it to 60htz. It lists my NEC Multisync 3FGe as the monitor too.

I am having fun with the game ...looking around getting used to the mouse. It looks like I'm there. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Here's the specs and the cost for this system. There is some freight too, about 60.00 worth.

Intel Pentium III 866MHz/133MHz system bus FC-PGA 256KB 204.00
Abit 133BX RAID Motherboard 112.00
20Gig Western Digital Hard Drive ATA/100 115.00
256MB RAM 54.00
Hercules Prophet II 32MB Video Card 120.00
Creative Labs Sound Blaster LIVE! Value 54.00
56X CDROM 50.00
floppy drive 30.00
US Robotics 56K internal Pro Modem PCI 70.00
S500 case 56.00
2 Fans & Cyclone & screws & thermal paste 35.00
Golden Orb 13.00

913.00

extras
keyboard & mouse 25.00
surge protector 50.00
mouse pad https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ 15.00 totally unnecessary...who cares! I'm not counting it.

$988.00 https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Not too bad for a full upgrade.
BTW, if that "Optimal" refresh rate was working for you, change it back (it still may be working at only 60 anyway). According to what I found on that monitor, it will go up to 65hz.

WAIT A MINUTE!! 15 bucks for a mouse pad??? 24k Gold trim????

https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ It's a 3M... naturally. Whad ya 'spect ?

Has a gel wrist rest. It feels good but kinda gets in the way sometimes when I'm scrolling.

Take a small bowl of Jello (strawberry is best)--leave it out for five days and viola! Instant "gel wrist rest"!

Oh bistro. What about those neat looking flat monitors ? ...It is Valentines Day. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Thanks QoH - bingo. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Ever seen a Pamper in a parking lot wet and swelled up from the rain... or whatever ? I stepped on one once...hummmm felt pretty good. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

You're right--it's Valentines Day. So why don't you take your sweet, lovin' self down to the shop and buy one for the price of a king's ransom? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Have four of them at work at my workstation--3500 each. No thanks. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
A 17 or 19" Sony will do ya' when you get the buckaroonies. Let your bank account have a rest for awhile though... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Hmmmmm...rain-soaked used Pampers....might make a good sound-proofing for the case....hmmmmm. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

These were at Best Buy and started about 400.00. I had never seen them before. They don't have Sony... or didn't the day I was checking them out.
I am happy with this one. It really looks fine.

Now ...what else do I need...hummm. A CDR-RW ?

Hmmmmm..let's see....you need a ZIP drive, 4 or 5 tape backup units, CD-RW (buy 6 of them), 2 or 3 more hard drives say,...80gb each, an 8-speaker Surround Sound system, an ergonomic computer chair with headrest speakers and foot rudder pedals (for flight games), a completely redecorated room to accomodate all of the above, new shoes (just to celebrate), matching outfit to go with the new shoes that you got just to celebrate,.....
