I've seen this happen when running the non-Windows version of newer
computers.  I think it's working the way it's "supposed" to, it's just
way too fast to control accurately.  Don't know of any solution except
for a slow-down program.

.... which doesn't help with my previous comment any. :(  Have you
tried similar programs other than Mo'Slo.  Only thing I can think of
.... except rigging an old DOS computer just for X-Com (and similar
old games).

Yes, you are right, this happens in UFO only, not TFTD. It's quite
annoying as it seems to happen more often when you are equipping your troops.

Two other possible programs:

* MySlow: This ones works VERY well for it, but works only on Win95/98/ME.
You can configure it to slow down the game only and not slow down the entire
system.

* Turbo: This one works on Win2k/XP, you can't tune it to work as accurately
as MySlow, and slows down the entire system.

For the links search in the old articles of this newsgroup or search them
on Google.

It's happening to me in TFTD.  I select English as my language, and then 
the intro screens fly by like I'm holding down the mouse button.  

When buying/selling, it's the same.  I can't buy 1 or 2 of something.  It's 
like 46 or nothing.  I have to use the cheat program just to engage in 
transactions.

During battles (troops or subs) sometimes a button stays down.  I have to 
right-click to stop the left-click.

What version of TFTD are you using?

How can I learn this information?  I can't discover it by right-clicking on 
the executable.

You can use XComUtil to find about that :-)
