I don't know go away for a couple of years and some upstart steals the BondBabe name...... unless it’s really me and I’ve just forgotten my login details Hmmmmm. Anyway, I am a seasoned raider and never really had any technical difficulties with the game, however I now have a new laptop that runs on Vista (and please no advice that I should get rid of Vista!!) so here’s the problem..... I have played this game on my old laptop with the sidewinder without problems. I have loaded chronicles onto the Vista laptop (and changed to compatibility mode) but when the game starts all Lara and the inventory do is spin in circles. I know that sidewinder is not compatible with one of the sound card and I have already checked and I do not have that on my laptop (I have VIA High Definition). I then shut down and reloaded again with the sidewinder and the same thing happened. I then tried it without the sidewinder and at first this appeared to work, however occasionally when I open it (again without sidewinder) she just went round in circles again. I searched the web and all the explanations I could find involved incompatible joysticks and sound cards. I have since uninstalled and re-installed and tried the game without the introduction of sidewinder on the computer and the same problems still occasionally occur. Is there an explanation or more importantly a fix? or should I just put it down to another Vista gremlin in the works? What I really want is to be able to play with a game pad rather than keyboard controls. Any suggestions out there?
