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! :blah:

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.

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

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?
I have a johnson photo in my profile since 2010.
