if your mouse is working normal just without gta sa, then dont buy it.
the error must comewhere from sa, check it from sa

Happens to me all the time in SA. Just keep pressing ESC and moving the mouse until it works again.

I had the same problem, then I ran it as administrator with the compatibility mode of win xp and then I got the same thing plani had. It would work some times and other don't. But randomly in the last week it has started working all the time. It's a little magical :3

I have this problem in every GTA-game and it has nothing to do with the mouse itself so don't buy a new one. Running it in W98 compatibility mode doesn't fix it for me but it seems to be working more often in that mode compared to others.

Right-click on gta_sa.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Disable visual themes & desktop composition. Press one time ESC ingame, et voilá. (+ you probably need to start it as administrator)

Well well well, look who we've got here. I remember the old times of you vs 'suspicieusone'.


Anyway, the problem is different for everyone. To some it works all the time, to some it doesn't. However when I had my defect GPU in my system I had to mash the esc button
a million times before it'd work. Deleting the set file, running as admin and a different compatibility is all I can suggest.
