Moo2 (Master of Orion) on Win2000

Hi, I have installed Moo2 on my Win2000 System (Duron800, 512RAM, Elsa Gladiac Geforce 2 MX), but without success. The Game starts, but when I choose the Race, the Mouse disappers (better: The Mouse didn´t work anymore.

This problem gets worse the higher the DirectX version you have installed. Moo2 plays fine with Win2k´s built in DX7, freezes the mouse once in a while with DX8.1 and is completely unplayable with DX9 due to a non moving pointer.

Unfortunately I don´t have a solution for this annoying "thing" (don´t know if it´s actually a bug). One thing is for sure: Microsoft screw up again

Don't have the game but if it is dependant upon previous DX versions then placing the older DX files in the MOO directory may work.

Hi
I installed Master Of Orion 2 today and had the same problem. I searched the web for a solution but I didn´t find anything usefull.

The following worked for me
(i also uninstalled DX8.1 but it didn´t help)

Run dxdiag as admin
Deactivate Direct3d Acceleration and DirectDraw Acceleration
Thats everything now Play

Hope it helps you (and other people like me who are searching for a solution)

Thx for the hint. Cursor problem is now gone but unfortunately, after a few minutes of playing the game, everything becomes black. The menus, the star map, ... My screen however is still active.
