F1 Challenge 99-02 problem

Hello! During practices/quals/warmup, if I start telemetry sub-software and after returning to the game, the interface won't allow me to change anything (setups etc). Mouse-clicking just does not work at all and only thing I can do is to quit or advance to the next session (where again nothing works in set-upping). The problem stops if start completely start the game again. Why is that? Anyone coping with similar problems? Any solution? Had no problems with earlier F12002. .mikko

If you have a mouse with a spinner wheel for scrolling, try clicking on that while in the menu screens. I sometimes get a similar thing where the mouse pointer moves around but doesn't highlight the icon it's on top of. A quick click of the mousewheel (mine acts like a button as wheel as a wheel) usually brings the desired result and I can once again click on the on-screen icons. dave henrie

Unfortunately did not work. Problem related to mouse drivers perhaps? .mikko

dang... prior to F1c, I used to have lots of problems with the telemetry and graphic tearing. I'd run some laps, go to the telemetry screens, and then when I came back the screen would be flashing and some of the textures would be missing or mis-shaped. For those problems, I had to completely exit the sim and restart, just as you do with the mouse problems. Since I switched from Nvidia video cards, I have not had those graphic issues. The lost mouse focus is still there, (wireless USB mouse) but, as I said, merely clicking on the wheel button brings it back. Thats all I have. Anyone else? dave henrie

Just a thought... have you tried Alt-Tab? I know it --looks-- like the game's in the foreground, but.... I have a similar problem everytime I first launch F1C. The game's running fullscreen and everything looks right, but I have to Alt-Tab to actually interact with it using the mouse or keyboard. Doubt it'll work, but it's worth a shot! Alan
