When I open a popcap Mystery PI game my mouse will not move. I have tried reinstalling it several times but the mouse still does not move. No problems as long as I am not in the game. I have used other software from pop cap with no problems. I have a Gateway laptop w/intel core i3 processor.

If we had the answer, we'd ALL be rich!!! Just pure, unadulterated LUCK!!!

Funny story: Follow these instructions and your Continue button will work perfectly. I'm on my third career without one problem on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit.
1) Open your Device Manager and highlight the Mice and other pointing devices section.
2) Start NFS Pro Street (it will not start with mouse disabled) and get to the Main Menu.
3) Alt+Tab over to the Device Manager and use your mouse to disable the mice listed under Mice and other pointing devices.
4) As soon as your mouse stops working, immediately Alt+Tab over to Need for Speed and play away. Your continue button will work flawlessly.
5) When you're done playing Alt+Tab back over to the Device Manager and your cursor will still be on the mouse option that disabled it.
6) Hit Enter to bring up the Properties window, hit Tab once to move it to the Enable Device button, then hit the space bar three times. Your mouse is back on.
7) Close the game with your mouse (just out of spite) and remember these few easy steps.
*Unplugging the mouse does not work, sadly.
Evidently there is some problem with the mouse on your desktop stealing focus in Windows 8, I noticed it when I had a mouse cursor in the game on my main screen and saw my desktop mouse cursor moving around on my second monitor at the same time. The two are out of sync somehow and it nerfs the works. This is working for me with Autosave on and off, cracked and non-cracked .EXE, with and without cheat codes, no Gameboost or whatever it is. I did it with both a Logitech gamepad and a Logitech steering wheel and pedals, it's all a matter of having the pad and buttons assigned the right way. After doing this twice, it takes less than fifteen seconds total to do and I get to play one of my fave racing games without worry.
Oh, as a sidenote, those of you having the login problems who bought the game cheap from Origin and downloaded it, I suggest a disc copy. I paid very little for mine and I don't have to log in to a thing. I can cancel the "Connecting to EA" message as soon as it pops without issue. Enjoy boys and girls!

there is a save game directory

you could save the whole directory to a usb flash drive or another place on the hard drive, then reinstall the game making sure it works.

then copy back from moved directory to the freshly installed game. should work fine and all games should still be there

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_92c86cbc79e9b552

it can't because it is not compatible with windows 7 or there is a problem with graphics of system

run the program in XP Compatibility mode

Yes, you need to update the mouse driver to work properly. And reinstall.

plug out the mouse connection to the cpu and and blow the dust out and try it again.

friend.
the thing u may not have the original key code.
if u have active internet connection and membership oon any game site u can download from there.
or create membership in fileplanet.com or usenext.com.
the best thing is u can download the demo for free.
also u can try free sites such as rapidshare.com
you can download it faster using download manager .
which is on fileplanet.com(home page) on left panel.

The best you can do is check the compatibility of the game. If you have done express or typical install not the full install try to do full install. Sometimes check the ram requirements. What happens is that sometimes required RAM is in there in the machine but it is sometimes shared with video card which affects the compatibility of the game. If everything is fine than these problems arise when you have any pirated copy of the game. But if not you can try game company's tech support. But you can also try uninstall of game than disk cleanup than install again full installation. It might help.

If my advice was helpful please feel free to rate me thanks.
