Mouse not working in GTA San Andreas PC – Fixed

You don’t need to worry if your mouse is not working while playing GTA San Andreas on your PC (Windows 10/7/8/XP); there are numerous solutions available to fix this issue. In the following, I have presented two methods to resolve the problem. Please refer to the details below.

GTA San Andreas was released in 2004 by Rockstar Games, and it is now in the category of old games. However, at present, the GTA San Andreas definitive edition is available on the market, which is the latest version of GTA San Andreas. Old GTA San Andreas is now replaced by the GTA San Andreas definitive edition. If you still have their older version, you may face a mouse-not-working problem.

In the GTA San Andreas definitive edition, generally, this problem does not arise.

Problems

After starting the GTA San Andreas game, the following problem may arise:

• The mouse cursor is moving, but when I click on any option, the click is not working. ( Tip: At the time of this problem, you can select options by using the keyboard enter button and arrow buttons.)
• Not moving the camera when I move my mouse while driving or walking.

If you have all these problems and want to fix them, just follow the below methods, which I have given on this page.

How to Fix

Here, I have provided two working methods to solve this problem. You can use any method to solve this problem. If the first method does not work for you, you can try the second method. However, the first method is far better than the second method

Method 1: Paste DINPUT8.DLL into the game folder

Conclusion

Using any method, you can solve the problem. The first method is much better than 2nd method because, in the second method, you have to do all those steps again and again to fix the problem whenever you start the game, but if you use the first method, you only need to do them once.
