Cannot deploy Medic Boxes or Barricades [SOLVED]

[Kip]

When my Skirmisher character leveled to Heavy Skirmisher, my ability to use medic boxes and other deployables was badly reduced.  Before Heavy Skirmisher, I had no problem deploying medic boxes.  Now, the box fails to deploy about 90% of the time.  The animation shows correctly but the box is not used (the counter does not decrease and people are not healed.)

I have tried standing still, moving around, aiming at people, aiming at my feet, jumping, etc.  Since I had no problems before Heavy Skirmisher, I do not think it is something I am doing wrong.  I have reinstalled NI with the latest patch and have changed to different gear but neither fixed the problem.

I asked another Heavy Skirmisher with practically the same gear if he had experienced any problems but he had not.

Right now, I think my best hope is to hold out until Pikeman and see if it works then but I wish it would work now.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Edit 1: I just played with my Commando character and it is having the same problem deploying barricades.  This seems less likely to be related to reaching Heavy Skirmisher now.

Edit 2: I reinstalled Mount & Blade Warband and Nord Invasion but the problem was not solved.  I assume this means it has something to do with my account.  I am three class points away from Pikeman.  Hopefully that will solve the problem.
