Mouse hotspot off on Vista?

by Derek Douglas · in Constructor · 12/21/2007 (11:33 am) · 5 replies

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate on a widescreen monitor (Res is at 1440x900) and the buttons in Constructor and the modification handles only work when the mouse is offset from the bottom of the button or handle.

Hmm. Seeing the same issue on a new constructor install. Vista Premium, but not widescreen (1280x1024)...

Latest ATI drivers just installed (CCC 8.1, released a few days back).

Mouse pointer visual is about a cm or so below theactual active point... not quite sure how best to describe it. I have to place the pointer just below buttons to mouse-over them or just below where I want to click.

Maybe an ATI problem?

Nice. :) I didn't think of trying that. I guess I'll setup my shortcut to shutoff Aero.
