Reporting back: THE FIX WORKED!!!! Thanks, SC. It will be wonderful playing BCM on my laptop now and I will sing your praises for a thousand generations. I'm OUT of this forum and ON to the gameplay newbie questions forum

I'll doublecheck to see if I have dx8.0 or 8.1 on the laptop. Going to the download link posted, I backtracked a little and found this: http://www.3dchipset.com/drivers/beta/nvidia/dell.shtml That is the matrix for the beta detonator XP drivers. Unfortunately, they have only the winXP and win2K drivers for 21.83 but not for WinME. I'll try out the 21.81 drivers for WinME and see if it works out, then post back here with results. Thanks for all your help!

This was in my post: Downloaded new Geforce2Go drivers from Dell, version 5/23/01 7083 as suggested by the troubleshooting FAQ. Did not work. I cannot download Detonator XP drivers from nvidia because nvidia does not currently support Detonator drivers for the Geforce2Go. The URL I was looking at is: http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=windows9x At the bottom of this page, it says: **GeForce2 Go and Quadro2 Go are not supported in the NVIDIA reference drivers. Please consult your notebook's manufacturer for the latest driver. As I've said before, I went to Dell and got their latest drivers for the notebook. Nvidia does not carry reference drivers or any drivers for the Inspiron 8000 Geforce2Go video chipset at all, as stated in their web page above so there will absolutely be no downloading anything from their website. Which means I guess I'm SoL for playing BCM on my laptop

Problem Description: Mouse pointer does not appear on the game screen at all after opening cinematics, when the game goes full screen. System Description: Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop CPU: Pentium 3 800Mhz RAM: 256 MB CD: 40X CDROM 10GB hard drive Nvidia GeForce2Go video chipset, 32MB video card Pointing Device: Synaptix Touch Pad Pointing Device: Microsoft IntelliMouse 14" super XGA LCD screen, Maximum resolution: 1400x1050, 32bit color OS: Windows Millenium, Dell OEM version DirectX 8.0 Geforce2Go Driver version 5/23/01 7083 Steps taken to resolve problem: Set Device to IntelliMouse in the mouse properties screen in the control panel as suggested by the Troubleshooting FAQ. Did not work. Replaced IntelliMouse with a Logitech wheel mouse. Did not work. Reinstalled game without the virus checker enabled. Did not work. Removed IntelliMouse to see if the Synaptix Touch Pad would then work. Did not work. Downloaded new Geforce2Go drivers from Dell, version 5/23/01 7083 as suggested by the troubleshooting FAQ. Did not work. I cannot download Detonator XP drivers from nvidia because nvidia does not currently support Detonator drivers for the Geforce2Go. Other information: I installed the game on my desktop, an AMD Athlon 550 with 384MB of memory and a 32MB TNT2 video card and it worked like a champ. I can play this fine on my desktop, but my laptop is a much more advanced system and is much faster. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help solve this problem, thanks. [ 11-24-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]
