Not able to create large Zones

[Yucan 0]

Hey everyone

I'm using quite a lot of large Res buildings at the moment an made it without this feature for quite a while (by creating Zone-clusters, hoping that the whole cluster is developped at the same time and then plop the building), but it just does not want to work right now, so I finally post the problem I have:

I know, that you can create Zones of pretty much every desired size by pressing "Ctrl" while zoning. But that does not work with me. What happens is:

while dragging

- no Zone (well, no color) appears

- there is the price-tag of the whole Zone

when created

- the Zone (meaning the color) does not appear, the ground is still visible

- sidewalks appear (but seem to disappear after a while - I have not seen them disappear, just noticed they weren't there anymore after looking at the spot again after quite a while)

- the "phantom-Zone" is paid for

after creation

- zoning the same area again (without Ctrl!), Zones of the usual size are created

- zoning the same area again (with Ctrl!), using the same density, I get the 0$-price-tag, as if there actually already was a Zone

- waiting for something to be build, nothing happens (except for the sidewalks disappering, as I said earlier)

Two additional information:

- it's the same with all types of Zones and densities

- I'm using the german Deluxe version right now, having played the german vanilla+RH before with the same problem...

So, anybody with an idea to get this to work?

I have the exact same problem in mine, not sure what's up with it. Also using SC4 Deluxe, the US version on Windows Vista 32-bit, and I've never been able to use Ctrl-Zoning.
