Character spins whenever I move mouse (Have not found any fixes) - Leonin - 06-16-2012

Every time I try to play Amnesia my character will spin around when I move my mouse. I currently am trying to play in non-fullscreen mode. In fullscreen mode my mouse will be stuck in the corner and I will have to reset my computer. In non-fullscreen mode I can select games and load them but when gameplay starts my character spins. I am able to move my mouse though when I alt-tab in non-fullscreen mode but in fullscreen mode my mouse is always in the corner. I have tried re-downlading the game, updating my audio drivers, updating my graphics drivers, plutomaniac's fix, disabling spyware and firewalls, changing settings in-game, and disabling steam overlay. I found no fix when I checked the troubleshooting guide. Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? Also if I didn't provide enough information I would gladly provide more, just tell me.

after the event occurs attach the file HPL.log, it may be useful

Is this it? I also tried updating my mouse drivers earlier today but that did not work either

From where did you get the game and what operating system do you have?

Steam, from the Humble Indie Bundle Sale. I am currently using Windows Vista

I've had similiar problems before with my old mouse, I fixed it by buying a new one. Also, If I go to the desktop while playing Amnesia, the mouse cursor gets stuck in the upper-left corner of the screen and doesn't move, the only way to fix it is by restart.

Do a file integrity check and update your graphics card drivers to the latest version.

As Leonin said and found, there is a fix for that at the troubleshooting guide.

Still does it, is there anything else that will fix it?
