I've been fortunate in that I haven't experienced the technical difficuties that many have.  But one thing is driving me crazy!

I love the feature of hovering your pointer over an item and it displays information.  Particularly when choosing something to build or a new area to research.  But I'd say a third of the time, it doesn't work.  For instance, when a city completes a building and asks what to build next, I can usually hover over each selection and it will tell me the benefits.  But a part of the time....nothing.

Not only do I miss the convenience of this, the CIVPEDIA is almost useless.  Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Yes, K. I like that feature too but as you said sometimes it doesn't work, or what really gets on my nerves is that it only seems to pop up for a second or two.

Cleo - is that you?  Hate to say it, but I like you're old avatar better.

Anyway you're right...sometimes I can't read it before it disappears.  The funny thing is, I still have a CIVIII PBEM going on and I catch myself hovering my pointer waiting for info!

Thats gotta be a graphic card issue.  Have you tried turning down your graphics a notch?  If not, you might want to try that.
