Fast Scroll Issues with XP

[Blitzen]

Hi Folks, Can some one tell me why that Railroad Tycoon II: Gold  scrolls really fast in XP? It makes game play almost impossible and  It is driving me nuts :'( can anyone help? I have two XP machines and the sane thing happens!

thanks

Hi Blitz,

That's an irritant with me too.  Itried changing the mouse speed in the control panel and a few other things without luck.  My "workaround" is to get close with the mouse and then use the arrow keys to get where I need to be.  Maybe someone else will have fix for the both of us.

Can you post which mouse you are using and if you have any drivers for it installed?

What I do is just click on the mini-map and drag the view screen around from there.

It's not the greatest way to answer your question but it was the best I could do. :D

I was cleaning up some old files and came upon a patch for v1.56. Which is said to address the following:

--Changes in 1.56 Version--

A) Added support for the middle-mouse wheel.  Roll it to zoom in and out. Press it and drag the mouse around to scroll the screen.

B) Fixed a bug where the screen scrolls too fast if you move your mouse cursor to the screen edge.  (Those young whippersnappers make dad-burned newfangled computers so fast today that they were causing RT2 to scroll too fast.  Fixed now - that'll learn 'em!!!)

It might help you guys out.
