I was wondering if someone could offer some advice. I have just begun to play SHIII on my Vista laptop. It won't play on my older XP desktop without crashing. It seems to play OK now although I haven't gotten very far into the game yet. I am in the Naval Academy.

I am having trouble controlling my mouse cursor. It is very loose and sloppy and slides all over the place. It is like using a pendulum for a mouse. I have been toying with all my mouse settings but nothing has worked so far. The cursor is OK in the game until I actually start an exam or a mission and then it changes to sloppy mode. Also, partly because of this, the large compass keeps popping out on the right. Fighting with the mouse and the compass is harder than the game. Is there any way to disable the large compass? It is more trouble than it is worth. Any advice? thank you very much.
