mouse stuck

March 8, 2006 6:33:18 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
With the latest patch, my mouse cursor just stops responding. It stays stuck in the middle of the screen and does nothing. It changes when cursor is supposed to change, but it does nothing. Basicaly, it looks like it is stuck in some strange Direct Input mode.
But there is more. Even after I exit GC, cursor doesn't move. Programs receive evens (other games, that have software cursor, work as expected), but there is no cursor. I have to reboot to solve this.

All other games and software work normally.

BTW: I am typing this with mouse stuck. It is a good thing that Opera was designed with keyboard only in mind

I had the same problem. Here's the deal - the cursor isn't actually stuck. It's just gone. For me, at least, I found that if I moused around, things would still light up and I could click on them - I just had no cursor. Took a restart to get it back.

As a way to avoid this, change to 'hardware cusor' in the video options. Should stop this from happening till SD can fix it.
