Do a search for "Fast Attack" and your questions will be answered.
Not trying to be a jerk but that question gets asked all the time.
But as far as the mouse go to D-fend, right-click on game icon and choose edit profile. Go to "General" tab and check auto-lock mouse. If that doesn't work you are screwed.

I also love this game, and my old cd is somewhere in a storage room. So i tried to find somewhere to download it, and found a place. The problem is that the clips dont work, when you fire a torpedo you know. It says, "cant find smack movie", that error suppose to occure when ending game as it says in the textfile, but it dont say that the ingame clips dont work. Everything works but the ingame clips, is the "smack" file extracted maybe? Unpacked it is 41mb only, so i think so, i cant remember how big the game is, but 41mb sounds very small. The clips is the soul of the game hehe, you wait and wait, and YES, when the clip starts, you know you hit the target. Damn, its a big storage, theres no way i can find the disc. No where to find in any store either, i guess i have to find the full version somewhere. Any suggestions?

I just reinstalled it and it runs great with dosbox except for the choppiness when trying to use the periscope. Before I knew it, 3 hours gone. There is still a lot of tense gaming in FA.

I agree.....The best thing I liked about FA is the simulated sonar waterfall display. Very realistic. The water fall display on 688 and Sub Command is pitifull by comparison.

I think I know which downloaded version you're referring to. The best option I found is to use that version (lack of CD checks makes things a bit easier to configure on the emulator) and copying the video files directory to the install directory from the CD. If you really can't find it, there should be an options file in the Fast Attack directory (I don't remember the exact name), and there should be a way to disable video playing. Should get rid of the crashes. If I remember correctly (it was some time ago for me), if you copy the videos from the CD, there is some path in a config file that should also be adjusted to point to the correct place.
