Am I insane? The terminal dissappeared from My Virtual WoG Corpceomrman12/11/2008 - 17:17

[=10pt][=10pt]I got to the part in chapter IV where I need to accept the terms and conditions of an email from the terminal that's at the WoG Corp. I'd love to accept the terms, but when I go to the WoG Inc to check the terminal, it's gone! Am I nuts? Am I really dumb? Is the terminal there and I can't see it? Is it somewhere else now? I swear it was there every time before I talked to MOM but now it's gone!
There's an email icon on the shortcut to the WoG Corp screen, but there's nothing to do but build my tower and exit.

I'm playing the retail version on Vista 32bit. It was unpatched until a minute ago (I thought v1.3 might address the problem). It didn't.

I took screenshots of My Virtual World of Goo Corp including every pixel of width. I chopped the very top and bottom of the screenshots so as to give my photo stitcher an easy time of making it meld nicely.

Any hints or ideas for me?

Try changing the resolution back to standard 800x600.

I haven't changed the resolution or anything else. I'm running at whatever is standard.

Click everywhere near the bottom, maybe it's blended into the background somehow  ???

Don't know if this is the same issue, but I once found that the "reset" button was gone from WoG Corp. Turns out it was off to the left, further than I could scroll. Throwing a goo-ball out of the left of the screen fixed it by allowing me to scroll left further.

So it seems there is a limit on how for you can scroll beyond your leftmost (or rightmost) goo-ball, and that limit does not include the position of the reste button (or the terminal, presumably).

That was it! Thanks!
I originally built my tower off to the left, and I had all my goo balls on my tower structure. For some reason, it wouldn't let me scroll right to the terminal and the reset button. So I threw a goo ball off to the right as hard as I could and viola - I can scroll that way now.

This is certainly a bug that ought to get fixed at some point :-)

Thanks for the help!
