I'm helping some students code a simple card-match game. I'm using if( dbMouseClick() ) in loopGDK, but it's missing most mouse clicks and i have to click 5+ times on one item to get it to enter the if statement. However, if I debug, it seems to enter every time without fail. Any ideas as to why this is occurring? We're running virtualized windows Xp on a macbook, so could speed actually be an issue?

Thanks,
Ben

Could you post the code? Then we could see if the problem is with the code or with the virtualized operating system. I can test the code on my machine if you don't have the option of trying it out on another computer with non-virtual Windows.

Yeah, we need the code to explain problem. But by the sounds of it, it looks like you do a dbMouseClick in a dbMousClick if statement, and between them there is some functions that lags (consumes time) a bit, so the user already has the mouse button released by the time it gets into the next dbmouseclick, so it fails. But ofcourse the first it works... as you can see in your debugger.
