Mouse will not work [Solved]

[Hotdog Jilm]

When I go to play the mouse/keyboard doesn't work besides the arrow keys and enter. The game is unplayable. I have read countless threads about this and it having to do with a 360 controller being the problem causing it. Well, I don't have a 360 controller plugged into my PC and I never have. Just my KB+M and I'm still receiving this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I have tried setting the graphics to low and all that jazz.. nothing.

USB. Cheap logitech mouse.

FIX
restart PC
Sometimes turning it off and on again really does work!

I've tried restarting about 100 times, it does nothing and the problem still persists. I've been unable to get past the character creation screen because of this.

If you're running mods try disabling them. Also try verifying the game cache by right clicking the game in steam>properties and I believe it's on the first tab.

That's my standard method of diagnosis. It works most of the time for me. If that still doesn't help try changing vdeo settings. It's all trial and error my friend.

I'm having the same issue. Didn't find anything related to this online. The 360 controller setting was enabled on default tho, but i disabled it and the result is still the same. the mouse is still not working. M=RAT9, KB=DEATHSTALKER

Are you running any proprietory kb/mouse s/w they often cause problems. I had to disable Logitech SetPoint for example.

did anyone find a fix for this. I just installed the game and cant do anything with the mouse. No controller ever used. Any help?

delete the 2 .ini files
get their names by googling "Skyrim .ini files"
delete appcache
get location by googling "Skyrim appcache location"
validate cache >> Library >> Games>> right-click Skyrim >>Properties >> Local files >> verify cache
one file will fail to validate and that is normal. It will be generated when you launch Skyrim.

Thanks Mage this.
It works now.
Not sure whether it was what you suggested or because i restarted steam.
But thanks nevertheless!
