Hi, Indinera. I am having the same problem: no mouse control. Having read this thread first, I uninstalled MM5 (without deleting everything, though) and moved the file in the 'downloads' folder to the desktop, as you indicated. I installed everything there and successfully altered the MM5.ini file, as you taught (mouse=1 on the last line), then saving it by substituting the previous file.
I launched the game - from the desktop - and imported my MM4 file. By the way, I have always used the mouse in previous MMs, including the 4. I was filled with enthusiasm to see the mouse pointer during the opening screens (if I remember correctly, this did not happen when I tried to play from the 'standard' installation). However, the moment I enter the game "per se" and it requests me to inform if I want to skip the introduction or not, the use of the mouse is not possible and its pointer, not visible any longer.
Going through the motions (the game offers no question whether I want to activate mouse control or not), I save as requested and then enter the Options screen. When you get to the mouse line, it allows you to use the side arrows to change from 'yes' to 'no', but the 'no' is already highlighted, and no matter how many times you 'enter' yes, the highlight does not change and your option is not respected.
Is there anything else you suggest that I try? In case you need to know, I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits with Service Pack 1. Help!
