Command and Conquer Generals Help

I bought the Command and Conquer Ultimate Eddition and I'm having a problem in the Generals game.  I have a windows 7 64bit with NVIDIA GForce GT 540M.  When I click on a unit to get it to move there is a lag in the time the unit moves, and once it moves I can't get it to un-highlight.  It will continue to move until I click on another unit, and in turn that unit will continue to move around until I click on another.  Has anyone else had this issue?

    Very peculiar problem... but, if you're used to playing the older games, please be aware that right click and left click have different functions in the games starting from C&C: Generals. Consult the game manual for more information on that.

    @Nyergudshey, as the local C&C expert ever encountered this problem?

    @TheHaddixi've tagged the person that probably knows the most about the series and  its problems on those boards. Hopefully, he can help you. I never encountered the problem, but he might have. He also made some mods to ensure that the old C&C games work on modern Operating Systems (Windows 7 and above), so he is definitely the person that is the most familiar with those.

    Thanks for the info.  The mouse functions were different and once I got used to that it's working better.  I figured a work around for the objects not de-selecting.  I just push one of the number buttons that have nothing assigned to it and the previous objects then de-selects.  Thanks again for responding to my problem and the link to the manual.

    Well, I probably would've seen it anyway; I got an email subscription notifying me of all new topics in this forum 🤓

    It's pretty weird how they switched it, though. They basically just copied the click style from Blizzard's RTS games that Starcraft popularized.

    C&C3 has an option to switch to classic mouse mode, but it has some problems, and doesn't always work right. For example, I think it prevented certain commands from working right on bridges since they are both terrain to move on and objects that can be targeted.
