Hi,
So I'm having some issues on using RPG Maker 2003 on my new laptop that has Windows 8.1. More specifically, when I'm placing map tiles. When I'm holding down the left mouse button (or the left side of the touchpad, I tried both) and start dragging to place tiles, the cursor will move with really fast speed and zip across the screen. Unless I move the cursor reeeeallyyyy slow, it will always zip right across the screen. Has anyone encountered this problem, or know what the issue might be? Thanks!

Some people don't have problems. Others do. You can try setting your compatibility to something like Windows 95, 2000, or XP. There may be some other settings you can fiddle with. Someone who knows more about it may be able to help, but every time this topic comes up, everybody says the same thing: Windows 7 and 8 is just not nice to older software. Sometimes, RM2k/3 will work on the new systems, and sometimes you can make it work. Usually though...

Yeah, the thing is I had a laptop before this one that had Windows 8.1 and it worked just fine. I've also used it on other computers with 8.1 and they've worked fine too. I've tried compatibility mode, using RPG 2k3 Ultimate... nothing seems to be able to fix it. :/
