Quote from: Simon on January 14, 2025, 11:18:52 PMTry to lower the mouse speed of the operating system. (E.g., in Windows 10: Settings -> Mouse -> Cursor Speed, drag the slider leftward.) Does that help?
It seems to have helped... not 100% reliable, but if I lower the cursor speed even more, it becomes uncomfortably slow for other uses... I hope that this will be enough. I just did a very preliminary test. In order to truly try it, I'll have to actually play "Holiday Lemmings 1993" again and get to the level which I couldn't complete because of this problem.

I'm playing the original Lemmings games in D-Fend Reloaded. I have used DOSBox with D-Fend frontend since my computer was no longer able to run many DOS games (so since Windows XP), though, and D-Fend Reloaded with in-built DOSBox for over ten years now, and the problem only appeared in the last two years or so.

Nope. I don't like mice with a hundred buttons (I'm picky anyway... I have relatively big hands and find small mice uncomfortable, and I love blue so much that I only want mice with some deep blue...), so I use a mouse with just two buttons and a wheel.

I know the blinking cursor trick - the one that when you place your cursor at the very edge of a tight group of Lemmings, far enough that the cursor is blinking, clicking it will always select a lemming which has just turned in the opposite directions. Often used for making sure that you build out of a small pit in the right direction... but oh well, you probably know and recognise it.
It used to work, but now it doesn't. I pretty much can't put my cursor exactly in the right place to have it blink. I don't remember when this problem started, but it certainly makes completing some levels very hard.
I also often have problems with cutting screenshots and other images - it is very hard to put the mouse in the right place (for just the edge of the picture) without zooming in. I assume that both the Lemmings problem and the picture problem might be related to mouse settings. However, I have no idea whether the problems mean that my mouse sensitivity is too high or too low. If anyone recognises this kind of problems, please help.

Thanks. I thought that somehow, replays = saves for this particular game and I had no idea that the candle does something.

Hello,
I'm a new user and sorry to dig up an old topic, but I'm unable to find this information elsewhere. How is the replay function used??? Really, anytime I click it - with the last of played-before level highlighted on the map - it say something (I don't remember it 100% exactly) that I need to play a level for this tribe before I can save or load a replay. But I already have! I don't want to keep going through all the previous levels, I want to save my game! But how??? Why is it never told, only letting you know that such an option exists?
