I can't seem to find the directery...I searched for [my name] etc etc but can't seem to find it...I've tried looking for hidden files and nothing either...GOD Window 7 is so hard to use lol

also before I forget, how do I turn off the mouse feature and just use the arrow keys?

mouse: edit LaxiusForceIII.ini in game directory and change line
Mouse=1
to
Mouse=0
(or delete the line).

savefile location: can't help you, I use Windows XP

this is weird, I'm not finding any INI or whatever file...I've made it so all hidden files are visable and nothing new appeared...

It's in the Laxius Force III directory (the same where "LaxiusForceIII.exe" is) and it must be there, because if you remove this "LaxiusForceIII.ini" file, the game won't run at all...

I know but I'm just not seeing it and the game runs fine...I've tried searching and still nothing...there is a total of 19 items in the folder(19 because I added the save file to the folder yet the save file isn't showing up on my saved files I just have the 1 I made at the start)

In Explorer, in the Folder options menu (that's where you may set the "Show hidden files and folders" option), there's another option - "Hide extension for known file types". Because .ini is known file type (it's associated with Notepad), you could try to uncheck this option and than you should see the whole file name with its extension.
If this doesn't help you than I'm out of ideas... :)

edit: One last thing you can try is to uninstall the game, delete the game directory and install it again. Then when running LF3 for the first time after installation you will get the choice of enable/disable mouse once again.
