I have been playing thief 2 for awhile now, currently I am on the "life of the party mission"
I have the GOG version. But now the game completly messing up. The button to use a lock pic (the mouse button)
no longer will work, so I cant unlock doors etc (it used to do this on occasion and I would restart the game and it would go away)
but now it will work for about 2 mins of in game play then it stops again... Everytime I read a book or load a save file the game auto saves on its own. Or when I die the game auto saves.
It keeps bringing things up on my inventory on its own as well.. I dont know what to do? My computer has been having some minor issues,
for example my mouse curser as been moving on its own and somtimes flashing from visible to invisible.. Do you think this is a virus or a thief issue? I really want to beat the game =).
Any advice?
If its a virus or somthing of that nature what program would you reccomend to get rid of it?
Any help is Greatly appreciated.

That can only be a virus I think. Try scanning your pc with your antivirus (e.g.(
http://free.avg.com/ca-en/homepage) AVG Free), then uninstall and reinstall T2

Thanks sooo much for the reply =).
Really? Well I guess thats better than having somthing technical wrong with the game.
Can I do this without having to re install thief?
If not how do I avoid loosing my save files?
And thats the anti virus software you would reccomend? I dont have any right now.

You don't have an antivirus?! That's the first thing you need in a computer - not having an antivirus is like racing drunk without a seatbelt. I've been using AVG for years and it's great.
If you want to keep your saves, go into your T2 directory, in the "saves" folder and copy the files in it to another directory before uninstalling.

I use the free version of Avast Antivirus and it's also great.

Just be aware that the virus may be part of the saved files. If that is the case then you will have to do a complete delete of ALL thief files, including your saved games. Then run a virus cleaner and then re-install.
AVG free is pretty good. USE IT or some other.

Sounds more like possession than a virus, truth be told.

Thanks for all your help everyone I really apreciated it!
I downloaded and used the free versions of Avast and scanned my computer and it says
there are 0 infected files? So either the scan isnt picking it up or I am missing somthing.
Any suggestions?
