<p>While in windowed mode, the view looks straight down, no matter if in third or first person view.</p><p> I cannot get the mouse to leave the game window, when it leaves the window it will snap back into the game window(i have tried sevral diferent mice and usb ports).</p><p>When in the options window all the tabs/buttons are unclickable (or not click able where they apear to be, you can get them to click if your mouse is actually to the left of them).</p><p>Happens in both the game defualt UI as well as the Profit UI. I am using windows 7.</p><p>In Full screen mode, everything works fine.</p><p>I tried a search on this, I am sorry if this is an old issue and my key word choices didnt stir up the posts already out there with an answer. Thanks very much for any help.</p>

<p>This sounds similar to a DirectInput issue I have seen before.</p><p>Give this update for DirectX a run and let me know if it resolves your issue.</p><p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d" target="_blank">[DX9] June 2010</a></p>

<p>that did not fix the problem. but to be sure i did what you wanted, i unziped the file and ran the exe file. and then followed the set up wizard through it.</p><p>also with some further digging i found somthing about ati drivers and rolling back to an older one, if that is possibly the case, what drive should i go back too?</p><p>im using a ati 5770 vid card</p>

<p>I can't say for sure, I haven't heard of anything new but what is already in our knowledge base.  Set a restore point and give it a shot and let me know <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
