ZaltysZ Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Do you have Sidewinder mouse? Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.
Panzertard Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 By the looks of it, yes - it's DirectInput crashes again. Might be the Sidewinder mouse that must be replaced by a non sidewinder mouse.

Eskam001 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 Panzertard Yes I do have ms sidewinder mouse, I will try another mouse & see if that helps.Thanks for the reply/help,I am getting quite dispondant with this prob. I wonder if this could be related to a very few Bad Pool Call errors I`ve had since installing BS? Not v often but will occurr in mid mission sometimes. Will post the outcome.
Eskam001 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks, Zaltysz too,just noticed first post different to Panzers, oops
Eskam001 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 Well I have gone back to the stone age & unplugged sidewinder (did not uninstall) & plugged in old PS2 wheel ball mouse.After 7 or 8 successfull missions all seems well, no problems in any track.It looks like the s/winder is causing the problem.I am very reluctant to ditch the s/winder,its a good mouse for all my other progs.Is ther any way I can make it compatable?Are all USB mice going to cause this problem or are some OK. Thanks again both of you,any advice on the mouse issue?
Panzertard Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Sidewinder and DirectInput is Microsoft's responsibility - unfortunately noone has found any workarounds for DCS. The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
Eskam001 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 Ok,wil keep looking; Thanks for your help.
