Hopefully compatibility mode is the solution.

| Sorry. I hadn't gotten any responces so I posted a new
| one hoping for a little more attention. lol
| Anyway, currently the only trouble I'm having with Black
| and White is that I cannot click anywhere on the screen.
| If I do, the game minimizes, restores to a black screen,
| and then closes when I click again. So, how do I fix
| this? Compatability? I haven't tried those yet but I
| probably should. Duh! I will but in the mean time if you
| have a solution for me help! Thanks!
