Mouse not responding by Ezra on 06-10-2005 at 07:07 PM

I have a strange problem, when I want to play Vice City or San Andreas my mouse works partially in the menu (can move, but can't click) and it doesn't respond at all in the game...

I tried another mouse, but it gives the same problems...

It works perfectly, only those 2 games give problems...

Does anyone have the same problems and/ore know how to fix it?

Are there any options in the game, like settings which disable the mouse for controllers? Sorry if this is stupid, I've never played VIce City on the pc.

Nope, it did work one time, but when I stopped playing the mouse stopped working :'(, I don't get it... Same problem with Vice City :S

When you load the game, press Alt+Tab to take focus from the game, then press Alt+Tab again to bring the game back. Then your mouse should work.

Nope, doesn't work :(

It did make it work in the menu 1 time :P, but not when playing :(

I got that from here http://forums.hexus.net/archive/index.php/t-1990.html

The problem seems to be exactly the same. If you just try experimenting with Alt+Tab or try playing the game with no windows open, it might eventually work.

Still no luck :(, I'm going crazy about what it could be :(

Is it a real version??? or a patched?


RE: Mouse not responding by Ezra on 06-11-2005 at 07:30 PM

I'm using a No-Cd patch, so I don't need the dvd

So your mouse works fine in normal windows, but not in these games? Thats odd..
I seriously doubt a no-cd patch would cause that, just to clear that up.
I googled, but all I can see that you can do is re-install. Although this is the last thing you should have to do, it may be the only thing you can do, unless anyone comes up with another answer..

I could try a reinstall, but I don't think it's gonna do any good, because  I only installed it 2 days ago, and it only worked once since then :S
