;( ;( 
same here; mouse wont work.
I i have been playin starcraft since i wuz 10 and im 20 now!! i am a really big fan of starcraft and would be very honored to be a tester of StarcraftII =)
So fun to play, but it still needs balancing some more.
I have the same problem with a store bough game. I load the game the mouse dies. Minimize the game the mouse works. Go back into the game and its dead again. This is a major bug for a releaed game that was always a favorite strategy game before.
Whats up and how do we fix it?
I found it!! The mouse will not move but you’ll see the buttons light up like the mouse is moving. Go to options and display settings. Carefully change the full screen settings to “windowed (fullscreen).” Suddenly your mouse will start working! Enjoy!!!
windowed full screen mode sucks. Still have problems with 1 edge of the screen where is the toolbar. This fucking toolbar stops you from scrolling the game. And there is also another bug in windowed mode: sometimes it just ignore ‘clicks’ with your mouse. I GOT 1 OF THE BEST COMPUTERS AND STILL GOT PROBLEMS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Wow just installed the game and was so eager to play and
NO MOUSE!!!!!!
New i7 930 with gtx 470 and a razer mouse.
Mouse is fine in othe games and of course windows.
Come on. Fix this
HEY WIZZARD BLIZZARDS! PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!
I WANT PLAY STARCRAFT WITHOUT LOSNIG BECAUSE THIS MOUSE IS NOT WORKING! I HOPE I FIND THIS ‘BLIZZARD MEN’ THEN I KILL YOU!!
my mouse also does not work in fullscreeen mode. please fix blizzard
Hey I also had the same problem with the mouse highlighting the buttons but not noving the cursor. I wrote to blizzard and received this response that worked!!! I use a 47 inch LCD as my monitor so I have my text setting on largest,
If you are running Windows 7 and your cursor is flickering, locked up, or not displaying clearly in StarCraft II, try setting the text display settings to small.
1. Right click anywhere on the desktop and select Screen Resolution
2. Click on Make text and other items larger or smaller
3. Change the size of text to Smaller – 100% (default)
4. Apply, click on Log off now and restart
Hope this helps
had the same issue as Adam Musial, was playing on a high def 3D TV as a monitor and mouse would not work. His instructions fixed it in a heartbeat when we were about to throw the game out the window.
Thanks so much for the instructions Adam!
