  1. thats true... but i have a folder on my mac in which i put all the install files ive ever used on my pc, i also sync my documents so ive always got a place to backup quickly from, and sometimes the applications are the problem, eg if the uninstall misses something. anyway, lets just let the thread die, its done its job.
  2. it is enabled for me, im one of those lucky people who has a voice that windows understands, so i use voice recognition in word, thus advanced text services is on for me. the install was clean a few weeks ago.... oh and catzilla, reformatting is the best reinstall you can do, the only thing not erased is the bios.
  3. look at my edit above. After testing i found that the mouse works in MTA aswell, this problem has been officialy fixed, just incase anyone else has this problem... right click on your shortcut to GTA and select properties, then chose the tab 'compatability' and check the box next to 'turn off advanced text services'. oh, ive found a new bug...... ahh forget it
  4. Ive only just reformatted my pc!!! You really think ill have to do it again? and i cant help feeling that if it didn't work this time, its not going to work next time. i think it might be something that dell installed on my pc when i first got it and just haven't worked out what it might be, any ideas? EDIT: OMG!!!!! I turned off advnced text services in compatability and it suddenly worked!!!!! you dont need advanced text services for mta do you?
  5. A: why not? after all i can throw the rocks back at 3 times the speed of sound, i think its a lovely idea. Q: still want to go?
  6. thanks, but it doesn't work for me, it seems that some people get a very similar problem to me but ive only found 2 others on the internet who have had the same bug as me and they were 9 months ago. BTW is it possible that it used to work because i had GTA3 and VC installed before SA but this time i haven't installed them? could that cause it?
  7. ive yet to try the two ideas but the forum i found it on no-one had any idea, then one guy said he found the fix on another forum, he didn't say where and i cant remember where i found it, i think it might have been the official gta forum. ill edit once ive tried the ideas. EDIT: tried disconnecting and reconnecting the mouse in-game, it didn't work. I don't use my bios much so i didn't really understand which option i should pick, there was only one submenu that seemed probable, this was 'Intergrated devices (Legacyselect options)' which i opened, there were 3 options in there that had something to do with the mouse or usb ports, which is it? mouse port: (on/off) default is on USB emulation: (on/no boot/off) default is on USB contoller: (on/off) default is on there were 2 options about the ps/2 being on and which serial port to use.
  8. 1. it found no problems 2. tried, it had no effect - my LMB is a bit flaky, but i don't think that means much... anyway, it didn't work with my rollerball either so that cant be the problem. - i did a fresh install of gta - im not using any special utilities. just tried reinstalling GTA again, didn't work. looks like ill have to get another mouse... im too poor. EDIT: The fact that this topic has caused the 'MTA:SA Client problems' forum to reach page 2 on google when searching for 'gta mouse problems' makes me think its not that common, although it definatly happens because i found a fix for it before (the changing compatibility to 98/me thing).
  9. I have now tried multiple drivers, multiple mice and have checked ingame settings and they are correct (including keyboard and mouse). you can see i have been trying to fix this for a while.
  10. good point, ill try to find my old rollerball. oh and BTW i just tried my mouse in a ps2 port instead of the usb and it still didn't work EDIT: my rollerball didn't work either!
  11. my mouse is quite good, its a basic 3 button with scroll from logitech. what i mean is that my mouse doesn't work in game, at all! the menu works but making the veiw turn or aiming the tanks turrets does absuloutly nothing (even after alt-tabbing or pressing escape). i can solve this issue in normal gta by changing compatibility to 98/me, however mta does not work in compatability mode so i have to find another fix. i never had this problem before i reformatted my pc, it appered afterwards. I have tried reinstalling gta but it still doesn't work. i have tried multiple logitech drivers, i am currently useing 9.79.0.0 i hope that makes the problem easier to understand.
  12. A: sounds good ive only ever had it with guinness, steak and squid (the guy who made it is a squid nut) Q: by the way, who likes my new mechanical body i found in the hold? ive got arms again!!!
  13. A: by temporal heat exchange Q: do we have a pint glass to collect the bear?
  14. A; no we dont have any flour etc. or oxygen... Q: will we have to eat him raw?
  15. A: well, the tractors etc. were on the ship, along with the food, water etc. so you will have to live without. *stomach rumbles* Q: is it just me or is z3rB1A looking really tasty all of a sudden?
  16. A: yes, the ship is destroyed along with Aeron *stands on mars and looks around at the vast empty landscape* Q:What now?
  17. A: absolutly *finn aims gun at fast receding ship* Q: who wants to fire? (i have no arms) and be quick!!
  18. if the frame limiter is messing your pc up, then your pc has a weird and wonderful problem. frame limiters are very small pieces of code, if that is dropping your frame rate just by running, there is something very messed up. I have no idea why it would cause that. if it truly is doing that i suggest you hope for the best from 1.1 but dont excpect any miracles as this seems to be a problem only experineced by you and even if the team did have time to attempt to fix it, if you have the same thing in sp then its probably unfixable. oh and upping the limit probably wouldn't help as i think the fact that it is running is the problem, not the actual limit. please post your specs, it could be that you have an unusual combination of specs but i cant think of any that would do that. oh, and what driver do you have? if its a beta driver or old driver, you should go to the latest stable driver, unless you have a good reason. you should never use old drivers if you can, and beta drivers only if you need to use functionality or fixes that are not in the stable release yet. other than that, ill sleep on it.
  19. A: we fire rockets and guns at the ship Q:anyone have a uber-super-laser thing?
  20. A: you wont need to when 1.1 is out, i can respawn. Ill drive, *kashplam* Q: who wants to drive?
  21. A: only 1, after me me jigga, laggy, nosgoth, Solide, gamefreek and brophy, plus there is a space in the back if you squeeze Q: who wants one?
  22. A: udder rockets!!!!! Q: if we eat all the cheese, where will we stay?
