I wouldn't exactly call my self an expert but i have been here long enough to see a few problems but this is the first time i have heard of this one. You could try a reinstall that generally fixes most problems or you could have a gander here and see if that helps.

Update the drivers for your video card - that's the likely solution. Are you using a wireless mouse? If so then look for updated drivers for that as well. Re-installing probably won't do any good. Good luck!

The guys in the tech section might tell you as well: wireless keyboard and mouse are not good friends for gamers.

Turning off mouse tails helps if you use them.

[Gigantus]

Mr. Freud strikes again: surely you meant trails, not tails?

[irishron]

Yes, Gig. I'll blame Freud.

[Ryou]

no, I don't use a wireless mouse, I mean the same mouse works for Rome Total War but no Medieval 2 total war or kingdoms or THird age total war for that matter. =(

[irishron]

Did it work before installing Kingdoms? Did it work before installing Third Age?

[Ishan]

Are u sure your DX9 drivers are up to date?

[Ryou]

as soon as I installed it it was flickering, and for third age it was even worse, lol.....

[Ishan]

Which OS do you have? not XP i presume.

[irishron]

Install .Net 4. http://www.microsoft.com/net/Download.aspx

It may help being a Kingdoms problem.

appearently this is a small but probably common problem. The solution is to turn the mouse trail off. (its in ur personal setting tool bar) appearently hte game can handle long mouse trails.
Ishan, please post this where others can see it so if they have problem it'll be fixed.
THX guys!!!!!

[irishron]

Mouse trails after all? glad it all finally worked out. Enjoy playing.

[Gigantus]

Freud was right!

People neglect to sometimes catch the brevity in straightforward freud sometimes
I say that is score! For IrishRon!
and glad the bug is fixed!
