Stupid question - am playing nikopol again and have an excited mouse moving very fast as I can barely see the pointer I would like to slow it down but have forgotten how. Help please. Thanks

If you have XP you can try reducing video acceleration.
Right-click the Desktop where there is no Shortcut
Choose Properties
Choose the Settings Tab
Click the Advanced Button
Choose the Troubleshoot tab
Move the slidebar a notch or two to the left and OK the change.

Start the game and see if there's any improvement.

thanks jenny it worked

Glad the fix worked out for you.
Enjoy the game.
