Mouse freezes on joystic emulation enabled

So I reinstalled alleg, I used the download link from the main page on this site.
Now what happens is everytime i fly and press a key on my keyboard while trying to aim my mouse freezes.
So i cant aim while side-thrusting or boosting.
When it does get stuck pushing the arrow keys does free it up, but as soon as i press another key it freezes again.
I tried checking my mouse and keyboard settings everything is as it should.
Help please!

That sounds like it will require an un-install/re-install. It sucks, but stuff like that has happened to me before and that was the only thing that fixed it. I'm not the expert around here, so take that with a grain of salt.

Pushing buttons will not unfreeze your mouse.

When my mouse freezes I usually put it in the microwave on "Defrost" for like 30-25 seconds, then viola! Your mouse will be like new, running on the wheel, moving about the table, eating cheese, all of it.

Works like a charm!

Does this happen on other games, except Allegiance?

Please post the DirectInput.log and it would be also nice if you would fill out the template.

Maybe it is like an usb driver I had before.

1) Push, while being still in windows, many keys at once and also move/click your mouse. What does happen?
2) Can you change the USB-port of one or both devices?
