That was to repeatedly press 'Esc' until the mouse starts working. Remember what I said about WIndows 7 bit? What did I do? There was a small way I found out to overcome this problem. These are the days of the USB mice, so I don't know if they encounter the problem with a PS/2 mouse too, I am using a USB one, and I had problems! At first I thought it was just the menu where it didn't work, but no! it never worked in the game too! huh! Similar to Windows 7 and Vista, right? ugh! The problem that I encountered was that my mouse never worked in the game.
