mouse pointer wont move

[ONETINSOLDIER]

anyone have any idea why this is happening all of a sudden? all 3rdwire games!

I'm occasionally getting this on my merged install (SF2/SF2V/SF2E) when using the Vietnam terrain but only with an aircraft that shouldn't be there. Updating the User List with my new user nation seems to help.

i dont see where something like that would affect every single install I have,,

Never seen it - try some basics:

 

 

1.If its USB - Unplug the mouse and plug it in again after a few mins

 

2. Next step would be uninstall mouse drivers and restart the PC

 

3. Try reinstalling a game

 

DO you have any other bits of hardware that you can use like a mouse that may interfere?

It looks like a Windows problem - either its damaged or you have some program preventing the mouse from working in game, or you may need to totally remove the game when you uninstall it. Are you running an admin account?

 

If you have have reinstalled the mouse drivers then maybe try another USB port

Two things you can try.

 

1) reinstall DirectX, and try running the game again. If it doesn;t work, thn try step 2.

 

2) unplug your USB fkight stick, start the game, and see if the mouse works. If it does, than you've found the source of your problem. The fix may be as simple as reinstalling s new driver (game controller or chipset), trying another USB port, etc. Worse case is a Windows rollback or reinstall.
