Cannot get the character creation screen to work (Solved)

[Multigun]

Somebody posted a video several years ago of exactly my issue, so below is the link.

Click here for example on Youtube

As the video shows, using ctrl/shift doesn't do anything to navigate the menus, nor does the zoom/rotate.

Gentelmen of the Row installed, tried Power tools also. I'm completly out of ideas, I have no idea. Any suggestions?

Edit for Solution:

As seen here, and of which I read many times, it states to check "for an HID-Compliant Game Controller entry in Device Manager." I have a 3D mouse that has been unplugged for litterally a year or more, but somehow that driver, even though it isn't being used, was the cause of all the issues. Lovely.

Use WASD key for menu.
Mouse wheel to zoom-in or out.
Move mouse left or right to rotate character.

Thank you for trying, but you didn't read what I said or watch the video, obviously.

WASD doesn't work, nor as I said ctrl or shift. It only moves up and down, it doesn't access the menu's to the right, as seen in the video I linked. As I previously said, mouse controls for zooming and rotating do not work.

What I have tried with zero success:

Deleting the files located in the app directory and leting Saints Row 2 recreate manually while also disabling Steam Cloud sync.

Re-install Saints Row 2 after a clean uninstall using Revo Uninstaller Pro

Tried multiple keyboards

Disabled any HID-Joystick driver (this fixed the menu scrolling issue I had, related to the g13. G13 keyboard function worked fine in the menus, just the joystick part needed disabling. I thought maybe the g13 was causing isuses with the character creation even though it is essentially a second keyboard with the joystick disabled, so I tried unplugging it completely but no luck)

Unplugged every single device except for the keyboard and mouse

Tried multiple mice

Tried to use an Xbox 360 controller (didn't do anything. It works fine in Castlevania)

Uninstalling Gentleman of the Row and playing vanilla

Setting compatibilty mode to Windows XP/Vista

Setting to always run under adminstrator mode

Alt-tabbing out and back in (this actually makes the game spam the top bar menus, moving to the left at a rapid pace. Unplugging litterally every USB device during this process does not halt it.)
