I get this problem when you get to the pre-mission shop, tried a couple of missions now and it occurs every time. I have plenty of money but the arrow to purchase items never apear, so you can't buy anything.
It's not the same thing the other way arround though, if you select your own items to sell them, the arrow appears.
Anyone had this problem?
thanks.

Have you tried running as admin? That would be the first thing I would try and then if that didn't work I would try uninstalling the game and trying again. I've found that running the as admin solves a ton of problems with these older games.

also, NOT installing into program files.

Sorry guys, tried both those things. No luck :-(

woah, that was one delayed answer. anyway, check whether the same thing is happening in the free demos.

I apologize for the late reply, I'll make up for it by replying quickly to this one :-)
I tried the demo and it still wont work.

ok, sanity check - you have some money to spend, then you click on one of the items in the upper right side of the purchase screen right under "items for sale", it starts rotating, then you click on the small arrow in the lower middle part of the screen, and then what happens?

try making a short video or maybe a set of screenshots.

It's like this :
When I select an item for sale on the left, the arrow and price never appears in
the middle and when I click where the arrow is supposed to be, I hear that error
sound you get when you can't afford something.
When I click my own inventory in the store, I have no problem selling stuff, it works
just fine.
I'll try to put up a screenshot or video of it tomorrow :-)

Ha ha ha:-)
Well this is embarrassing. I assumed that the items for sale was on the left side, sorry to waste your time guys, I'll try to use my eyesight and my brain next time.
lol :-)
