Whenever I minimize the game, and restore it again, I'm unable to use the mouse. It gets changed to the default windows pointer that you see on the desktop and **** like that, and when ever I try to click anything in game the game gets minimized again. zzzz!

Yesyes, I'm new to the game.
Please help.

    try playing in windowed mode, that's pretty much the only solution :(

    I had the same problem and I think many others too.

    I get this if I run the game on a newly installed windows.
    If I run all the windows updates it works properly.

    another tip, when switching between windows use Alt+Tab
    It is much faster and it never lags or changes the cursor
    Hope i helped...=P

    It doesn't happen in the windowed mode, but the bottom shortcut bar and **** disappears in that mode.

    Mine is a 15year old monitor, I need to get a new
    one I guess.

    Anyway, thanks.

    And also, I haven't tried updating all the files, I'll try that out, might work, hopefully. But updating is a pain.

    Thank you.

    The only problem I ever have is when I use the 'windows' key to minimize the game (for web surfing, stopping an anti virus scan, etc...). If I've been playing for a while and my PC is under strain, low on memoery... sometimes PW refuses to maximize again. Sometimes it freezez the whole PC, forcing me to shut it down in evil ways.b:cry

    There was already a post about this with solution. As far as I remember (for windows XP)- put the windows CD inside drive, open control panel, click on regional and language options, open the language tab, select install files for east Asian languages.

    After installation my mouse worked fine after minimizing/maximizing.

    I have no windows CD. Stupid Dell partitions. "Ah, and if that partition get corrupt (which we'd like to add is HIGHLY unlikely, but possible none the less", enjoy shopping for a new PC, because the windows disc will cause more headaches that it's worth."

    Thank you, Dell 'support'
