i recently got GTA:SA off of steam, When i go to start a new game, the mouse will not click/work. Im on windows 8, Anyone know how to fix this?

Try to click in option the button for - Mouse and keyboard.

If it doesnt work, try just click ESC 2x.

I had with my GTA SA the same...

If you downloaded it from a site, it could either be a file bug or a virus. That's what happened to me too! I found out it was a virus. It depends where you got your game from!

If he got it of steam it's not a virus.

Correct. Steam would get in major trouble if they added viruses to their game. If they downloaded a torrent, then the chances of a virus goes up.

I also have the same problem and i think its the same with all the people, it should work if you use your arrow keys to navigate the menu.

Two ways of fixing this,

 

1. Hold down 'ESC' and wiggle your mouse at the same time until in moves

 

2. Right click the gta-sa.exe and go into properties.

    then go into the Compatibility Tab.

    Now check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and click Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

 

Both work for me.

 

Sorry, didn't see the original release time of this topic.
