Hello. I know that it's a rare game, but I am playing Disc by Loriciels (also known as Loriciel), and I have ran into a pretty peculiar problem.

This problem involves the Action button, which is what you use to throw the disc. (It's a Discs of Tron type of game). The action button is the left mouse button or Enter.

When you're in Windowed mode in DOSBox, the button works exactly like it should, but when you're in Full screen mode, instead it does what the down directional key does. So he walks back instead of throwing. Strangely enough, if you run the game in DOS (full screen of course), it works correctly like Windowed mode in DOSBox.

I am currently running DOSBox 0.74 (default configuration, except for an autoexec to mount the game folder and run it), on Windows XP Home Edition, version 2002, Service Pack 3. My processor information is Intel Atom, CPU N270 @ 1.60 GHz, 0.98 GB of RAM.

It's a really strange problem, which I haven't seen in any other game. Has anyone ran into it yet? If so, do you know of a way to fix it? Thank you very much in advanced! 😁

It works fine for me either windowed or fullscreen. Remember you have to use arrow keys + Enter.

Hello, eL_PuSHeR 😀

Actually, I tried using Enter instead of Left clicking, like you said, and it works with Enter, but not left clicking in DOSBox windowed mode.

Another thing that I had forgotten about is that left clicking in a menu freezes the game until you go back into windowed mode. In the game play, it acts as the down directional key like I mentioned earlier.

I think it may have something to do with either my touch pad. I haven't had a chance to test it out with a mouse on this computer, because very recently my USB mouse started to really break down and it almost never works any more. (Either that or my laptop just stopped accepting it.)

Anyway, thank you for your help. I'll see what I can do about the touch pad. Although, I'll also try to get used to using Enter because that's probably the easiest solution. Thanks again! 😁
