Did you point to the correct .exe?

Are you starting the game with that .exe?

Yes, definitely the right .exe but no joy. I tried several times, even resorting to the good old reboot.

Maybe, as someone mentioned below, it's to do with it being installed in x86 - I'm not sure whether the remark referred to the X-Mouse application or TotH.

Remove the listing for Tigers on the Hunt in the X-Mouse program and try it again with the new instructions in my first post.

Nice workaround, and yes I am weird, but I hate clicking the middle mouse button for any application. Some mice require a decent amount of pressure and wheel tends to scroll under my finger.

L-Ctrl key seems to fall naturally to my LH thumb. Not saying this part of the UI shouldn't be changed though, unless it was a huge programming effort.

Did you see where you can also program it to use the left mouse button?

You can use the right control key as well just so you know. I am left handed so that is the key I use...

You can use any mouse button you want, left, right, middle.

Yes, that's done the trick, sir. Thank you.

I can now use one of the other buttons on my mouse to {CTRL}{LMB}. Not the middle buttons, because as Rosseau says, that's too clunky.

Thanks again Missouri_Rebel.

I just ordered one of these. Will make good use of it with TotH and other games coupled with X-Mouse.

There are 7 button ones for $10 on amazon.

I just configured X-Mouse so I can use it for the John Tiller Campaign Series, another game where the CTRL button is used to switch between move and fire. Unfortunately I couldn't use the CTRL LMB combo so I have to use the MMB. Also configured a side button to move through units that haven't been considered yet.

As a side note, TOTH might benefit from a button to move through units that haven't been considered yet.

{CTRL}{LMB}

Thanks Reb, I have used XMOUSE in the past but had forgotten about it. I love how it works with the game.
