I know this has been brought up a million times, but guys, I need some help. I have scoured Google to try and find a solution as well as these forums and nothing I have found to date is working. I find plenty of reports about it, but they either aren't exactly the same or the solutions provided for them do not work in my case. Most of the time the cases aren't described very well so I will try to describe exactly what is happening.

When I am in menus within Skyrim, whether that be the main screen or the map or my journal, the mouse arrow moves about nice and smooth and fluid. When in game however, especially when in a battle with an enemy, the mouse is extremely unresponsive. I can swipe the mouse to try and turn around to face my enemy (who is steadily attacking me from behind, mind you) and my character will not turn around. Won't even resond to any movement of my mouse whatsoever. Even if I click the left or right mouse button to try and attack, absolutely nothing happens. My character might actually attack after 10-15 desperate attempts to get him to do something, but that is all.

The mouse works fine within Windows or any other game, it's only Skyrim. So far I have tried:

1. Disabling mouse acceleration

2. Turning off vsync

3. Reducing the graphic settings to lowest

4. Uninstall/reinstall my mouse

5. Try different USB ports for my mouse.

6. Making a copy of Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini, deleting them, restarting the computer, and trying again.

7. Disabling Wireless within Windows.

Nothing has worked so far. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? You don't know how frusterating it is to have a dragon flying overhead, in a wild panic I am attempting to get my character to look up to face him in the sky with an arrow or something, when my character just stands there and ultimately gets burned to death. Any help would be appreciated.

System specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit

8GB RAM PC3-12800

AMD A4-6300 APU @ 3.7gHz (which has the AMD Radeon HD 8370D GPU on it)

That should suffice to place the game by all means....

You did not try turning off the Gamepad and Rumble.

In the Prefs file, look for this line and make it look like this

bGamepadEnable=0

Also, search for Rumble and disable that. IIRC, this is one you might have to set to 1 to actually disable it, look at the line and it will be obvious. Just to make sure, search the INI file also for these lines. Hint, search for pad and you will find both lines, if they exist, you need to change.

You might be able to do this in game options in the game itself. It has been so long since I changed this, I forgot exactly where you can do this, but the INI file is a valid way to make this change if the in game options are not there.

Awesome, thanks for the response! I'll try this when I get home and report back with results.
