Mouse wont work with menus and perks wont work

Post » Mon May 28, 2012 4:15 pm

So I got Skyrim a week ago and I decided to finally post about this. When I go ton hover over a menu the mouse wont select anything and if I wait or sleep the slider goes all the way to the right to 24 hrs.

Also when I am at the bottom of a menu it automatically scrolls up so I have to use the arrow keys and WASD to navigate menus and cant use my mouse.

This goes for all menus from inventory to magic to taking and storing and bartering to the system menu.

What REALLY gets to me is the perk menu. When I level up and go get a perk the perk screen scrolls all the way to the top of the tree and wont go to the bottom perk. When I try to click down and go to the lower perks I can get it doesn't do it it stays at the top. I can still get perks but only ones on the same line of a tree so that means some perks are unreachable.

example: I go to level up the game automatically chooses destruction and scrolls to the top perk and I don't even touch anything when I hold down S to zoom out it keeps selecting the same tree over and over even though I am holding S it really ruins the game play a bit if you have any ideas on how to fix or know what is wrong plz help!

Have you got a joystick plugged in? If so, unplug it and see if that helps.

That is simply nowhere near to being sufficient information to offer any answer, unless you have a console, in which case you are in the wrong forum (and yes, a variety of input devices can confuse the game if left attached).

Corrected Skyrim Minimum Requirements

* Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
* Processor: Dual Core 2.3 GHz C2D or equivalent CPU
* 2GB System RAM
* 6GB free HDD Space
* Direct X 9 compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM (and
sufficient performance to actually put that VRAM to use)

* DirectX compatible sound card
* Internet access for Steam activation

That is simply nowhere near to being sufficient information to offer any answer, unless you have a console, in which case you are in the wrong forum (and yes, a variety of input devices can confuse the game if left attached).

You really must not be at all serious about getting an answer.

Basic Hardware Specification Chart (Empty so far)

Processor Manufacturer: AMD / Intel
Processor Name / Type: Athlon X2 / Pentium D / C2D / dual core / quad, etc.
Processor Speed: ?.? Ghz
Operating System / Service Pack: WindowsXP with SP #?, Win7, Vista ?
System RAM: ? ? GBs (MBs, if less than 1024 ? )
Video (GPU) Manufacturer: ATI / Nvidia (only those two are supported, PERIOD, so please answer which of them you have)
Video Card Model: (examples) Radeon HD 6670 / Geforce GTS 450
Video Card Driver Version: Catalyst ?.? / Nforce ??.??
. . (please use the numbers, and dates, *not* the word "latest")
Video display's default screen resolution
Video Card onboard RAM: ? ? ? MBs
Sound Card Manufacturer:

(And this is only for the raw hardware & driver variations. Potential software conflicts are far more likely to be game play problems, and developers cannot test for all possible program loads.)

Have you gone into the settings menu and disabled the 360 controller? Some laptops have multiple input device drivers and the game may be interpreting one of them as a controller (longshot).

You also said "laptop mouse," do you mean a "normal" mouse attached to a laptop or a touchpad? I would not assume a touchpad would work properly with the game.
