Issue using hatchet, bandages and flashlight

[LaurenDanger 100]

Hey friends,

I have the Steam version of ArmA2, beta patch, everything up to date, running from the Steam library non my windows 7 HP all in one machine.

I do have two tiny problems with the game that have never changed since I started back in 1.6 and I hope someone has a clue. I did not know how to search for it by keyword.

The main issue is I have trouble getting the green box to appear properly for removing the hatchet from my tool belt, or using a bandage. I can only bandage myself if the bandage is in the furthest right slot, and even then it takes a few tries before the option will go dark green for selecting.

Tis means when I pick up a hatchet, if it is not on the far right of the tool belt section, I cannot interact with the options. They remain light green and often vanish behind the tool icons, the Flashlight gives me similar problems. No matter how I click, nothing happens.

The other thing I've noticed is that when I log in, I hear the noise for the location and day information, but it has never displayed for me. Maybe there's a connection between these two issues.

If anyone has a solution I can try so I can actually use the hatchet as a weapon I would really appreciate it. I don't want to start messing with settings on my own, as I am a writer, not a computer expert, and of I screw it up, my only option is to come back here and, yes, write about how I screwed it up. I don't the any of us want that.

Thanks friends, and happy apocalypse to you all.

I'm bumping it up in hopes that someone has a solution. One zombie hit and I died because the little green bandage bar would not go dark green so I could click it. Clicked madly on it anyway and nothing. And it means that I can't get an axe out of the tool belt once respawns yet again (peekaboo zombie killed my new spawn from behind a door).

There has to be some setting I have wrong. Does anyone have any ideas for me?
