Wierd Mouse Lock when i come out of ingame.

[Baladin]

Ok so lets say im speccing a game and some one pm's me so i press the windows key and come out ingame for a second. Then all of a sudden my mouse is locked in the middle of the screen and i cant move the cursor. Every time i try to drag the cursor it just shoots back to the same position. So after that i dont know what to do so i just bring up task manager and do end task for everthing of spring i have up and start again. The problem being it does this every time i press the windows key the only time it doesnt is when i accidentaly press sticky keys. I havent a clue why it does it but maybe some one can help me?

Does it make any difference whether you see the crosshair cursor when you press the windows key, or the normal cursor?

Hello,

I found this problem also.

I only found it when I was using the 'freelook' or 'freescroll' mode (pressing the middle mouse button when)

if you switch out of the application with this on the mouse is locked to the centre of the screen.

change off this mode by pressing the middle mouse again before swtiching out of the application

hope that helps
