    I purchased the Gateway P-6831 FX on Monday under the much talked about current sale at BB. I finally got around to installing Crysis late last night. Before playing, I went into the System Settings tab to try to play with the resolution, detail and other settings. I had difficulties with the tabs and/or check boxes. When I would move the pointer to a tab, it would not highlight the tab. If clicked on it, it would act like there was nothing there to click on. But, if I moved the pointer around, I would find a spot perhaps below, above, to the left or to the right of the tab that would highlight the tab as if the pointer was on the tab. I was then able to access the settings on the tab, such as "Sound", "Graphics" or a specific screen resolution. But, I was never able to find the spot that would allow me to get to the "Advanced" tab, where I assume the detail settings are located. I had similar experiences on the other screens prior to starting the game as well, such as to start a single player game, where the spot to access a tab or check a box was not on the tab or the box but I was able to work around it. I hope the description of the problem makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.

    I had that happen to me once in Crysis, but a simple reboot of the game fixed the issue. Have you applied the latest patch?
