Hi!
I installed on Vista-loaded tabletPC (not a convertible, but a slate-type, so no keyboard, touchpad, etc).
I preferr to use the tablet pen for obvious reasons, and there is quite a problem with the cursor.
It is - for the mouse-control part of the game engine only - as though the middle 3x3 cm area of the whole screen would be the whole screen. Try to imagine it like this: you would have to control the cursor with the notebook touchpad, that is on the center 3x3 centimeters of the display itself.
The error is possibly because of different handling of cursor positions (absolute vs relative).
Attached images to show the result & that while the virtual keyboard (& windows) recognises the correct position, the game does not, even at the same time.
Ingame cursor positions on the pictures: left center, right up just above hand, left bottom, left bottom. Quite different from their actual positions.
(Using a mouse does not result in such error.)
Unfortunately, this makes the game completely, utterly unplayable with a pen. Which is quite a shame.
