I've tried changing the cycles. I was able to lower them, but I still seem to have no control over the mouse.

I don't know if it affects anything, but I have a MacBook Pro, but I'm trying to operate SimEarth on DOSBOX on the Windows Virtual Machine (with Windows XP). I couldn't find instructions on how to set up DOSBOX for Mac.

What do you think I should try next?

Sorry The Fifth Horseman. How do I open the configuration file? In many ways I'm computer savvy, but if I've not had to do it before, I don't know.

Thanks.

This is the guest that had trouble with the mouse. I looked at the postings for using DOSBox with Mac OS X, downloaded DOSBox .74, used a combination of instructions from the Mac suggested pages, and The Fifth Horsemans instructions on Page 16. AND it works.

Thank you all for your help. I'm so burned out from trying to get this to work that I think I'll wait a day to review the manual (found online) and then start playing the game.

This will be a great model for my environmental science students to understand the concept of Gaia.

Happy evolution to you all.
Thanks again.
Mamanaia.
