DeadTaco Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I have a rather odd problem. I have tried both a logitech and microsoft optical mouse, and neither works. I'm in windows XP SP2. When I'm in the menus, the mouse moves around, but I can't click anything (I have to hit the enter key). When I'm in the game, the mouse doesn't work at all. The strange thing is that I can click past the intro movie, but the mouse button dies once it reaches the menus. Anyone else have problems like this? I'd REALLY like to get this game going!

jtnova Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I have this problem too. Any ideas how to fix it ? I've emailed rockstar tech support, but who knows how long it'll take for them to get back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebel_36 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 maybe youre on joypad controls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadTaco Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 No, definitely on mouse and keyboard control. Besides, even if it was set to gamepad/joypad control, the mouse would still work in the menus, and it doesn't. You can move the mouse around, but you can't click on anything. I'm thinking it's a direct-x programming bug that they made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtnova Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 hey taco, you have daemon tools running ? turns out that what it was for me. if you have a virtual drive emulator running turn it off and launch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadTaco Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 I tried running the game on my laptop, and it has daemon tools running. The mouse works fine. The other computer I'm having problems with doesn't have daemon tools, and it's having the problem. I'm running a legit copy that I bought from Bestbuy, so I know it isn't any sort of 'pirated' copy problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memno Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I had the same problem in windows xp but fixed it by using compatibility mode and selecting windows 98/ME. Works fine now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memno Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hehe no problem No idea why it fixes the problem but it runs fine and at least we can use the mouse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadTaco Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Genius! That worked. It messed up some of the controls, but I just had to reset them (for example, it can't tell the diff between left shift key and right shift key, but not a big deal). Thanks man!
