Hi all,

Grand Theft Auto: Vice city is having some trouble on my computer. The mouse can point but not click in the menus, but when in game it's completely broken! You can't move it to look, scroll to change weapon, or click to fire.

This is driving me mad because one simply cannot live without Vice city!

Apparently, on windows 7 a solution was to disable visual themes but this doesn't seem to be an option in Windows 8 Compatibility.

Thanks,

Daniel

    I also have a Scan 3XS LG15 notebook with 16GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 2.7GHz 3rd-gen i7, GTX 680M.
Alt-tabbing in and out of the game both causes and solves this problem.
