Hi, I reported the same bug to your site and was given a link to this thread. I have the same problem now occuring with mouse control. I can usually "ctrl alt del" and keep trying to position my mouse at the bottom of the screen when the game comes up and still play the game, but this is annoying. Like the above poster, I have plenty of RAM to play all other games.

In fact this game was playing fine for a week and then I put it on STOP during he holidays and restarted the game a few days ago and now have this bug occuring that was not occuring before.

In addition I have another new bug that I have fish in the store on one ID that will not sell, no matter how long the fish store is open. Yes, Iv bought everything there is to buy and left the game open to see if an hour would work, but the 4 fish are stuck in the store unsold.

I love the game also. I'm up to #62 on money from fish sales and only played a little over a week and stopping the game at night.

Im just letting you'all know that the game has a few bugs. The mouse problem is especially annoying and I do not have any other games with such problems. My nvidia video card was updated after the last 10/20/05 nvidia update etc. XP Home, 512 RAM, nothing running in the background like a scan as you suggested.
