Changing speed settings on a laptop

[elbasto]

Hi.

I am trying to play Victoria on my laptop but, since I don't have a numpad option I can't change the speed settings and pause the game (it does not have Pause button).

Is there an easier way to do this other than clicking on the clock and going to the menu speed settings?

Regards.

actually almost every laptop model has a numpad. It is just not obvious. There is certainly a function key on your keyboad which is called "Num". Just hit it (normally in combination with another key) and then some part of your keyboard will transform into a numpad. (indicated by small numbers next to the key)

Not mine, I've already checked the specs.

Thanks for your reply.

Had the same basic problem since I bought my own laptop. EU2 being one of the first games I installed lacked one fundamental feature - PAUSE key. As playing any Paradox games without it is neigh impossible for me I made up with a solution: http://www.autohotkey.com/. Writing appropriate macros can be a bit tricky (it took me 3 days to get it right) but is quite easy in the end.

Umm.. it's been a while since I played Victoria, but isn't it possible to change the game speed when hitting esc and going to options?

I always do as Eärendil said but author

said other than clicking on the clock and going to the menu speed settings?

Oh. I guess I should read the posts more carefully next time.
