New Dominions and new Mac user

[Varangian]

Thank you for the help. I think I got it figured out now. New question, do you have problems right clicking wit the mouse? I have the secondary button on my mouse assigned to a right cclicck, but it's difficcult for me to get the effect of a right click.

What mouse are you using?
What are you trying to do with the right click?
Are you in Full Screen or windowed mode?

Capt_Jack,

I'm using a mighty mouse and full screen.

Whoops...more questions.

wired or wireless... I have seen the problem on a wireless mighty mouse that had out of date software running.

Borrow a PC USB scroll mouse and plug it in. That will tell you if it is in the mouse's switch or at the I/O level of OSx. I have a Microsoft mouse on mine with no problem.

I'm using a wired mouse. I don't have a problem in other programs (or at least very rarely).

Hi Varangian:

I have a mighty mouse on my iMac. I have no trouble right clicking with it in Dominions. I tend to play in windowed mode, but I did not have any problems with full screen either.

Sometimes I find that right-clicking with the mighty mouse can be picky if you are not holding the mouse just right, which is a bit annoying.

My trouble when I first got a Mac last year was patching Dominions. I needed to change the permissions. Post if you're still having trouble with that.

I agree with PashaDog. The Mighty Mouse is not Apples best product. Office Depot had a basic $7 Microsoft mouse that worked as well as the MM (didn't look as neat).

Also check out the trick of holding down the scroll ball to drag the map. Does that work? It does with my mouse.

I started using the windows mode all of the time. I have to trick the window to reproportion by clicking the green (minimize/maximize) button. This allows me to see button over messages at the bottom of the screen.
