My Copy shows the Version 3.3. Perhaps you should check that out, and get a
new copy?

BTW, my pointer never dissapeared.

%Yes, this has happened to me too once (yesterday). It happened as I was
%repeatedly knocking on the wall (out of frustration :-) ). The hand
%disappeared but I could still play by guesswork.

%That also happened when my hand disappeared. I figured that I had clicked
%on the character without knowing it. I tried my best to click back on that
%spot, and it came back.

%DMII seems to be crashing much more often than DM ever did. It has become
%almost unplayable my friend's computer (2000, 2meg extra on 8-up board(?),
%GVP 100meg). On my system it tends to do wierd things from time time, and I
%have a 500w/A590 hard drive, 2 meg total. Would it be having problems with
%expansion memory?

I have had no problems with the original DM or CSB crashing or the pointer
disappearing, or anything. I played DM for a long time and have played CSB
since right after it started selling and never saw the pointer problem or
had a crash yet. In fact, as game stability goes, I rate DMII as one of the
best on the market.

Just my 2 cents.

BTW I have A2000 with Fat Agnus, Supra RAM w/ 2 Meg & Supra WordSync 100M
Quantum.
