Dungeon siege 2 lost mouse on startup

Previously it worked well on my windows 10, without the late 2016 early 2017 updates installed. Now it won't let me use my cursor: Doesnt show up on the screen, and won't ever highlight any menu item so I am sure it doesn't actually move. beyond that, when I set my screen resolution to lower than the game's startup 1024x768, it shows the mouse locked onto the lower left or lower right corner of my screen. This happens even with my integrated intel hd 3000 card - the Nvidia geforce 610m doesn't even like my game. I'm in the slow ring of the windows insider program if that helps any, and reverted out of some update that broke my drivers, so the version is 1703 with the build 15063.540 64 bit - again it worked before in the windows version I installed on the 25th of may.

Anything I can do about it?

Have about the same issue myself.

1: When I'm tabbed into the game no, when I tab out it works as normal.

2: No, currently it's only dungeon siege 2 for me.

3: Only the automatic updates when you turn the PC off.

4: Tried to reinstall the expantion with no success.

Allso unpluggin my xbox controller, no success.

Unplugged and replugged my mouse, the mouse now appears but seem to me magnetized to the corners, and if moved fast enought I could get it to another corner, and have the mouse flickering to the center of the screen.

Found a somewhat solution to it.

By forcing the game to go windowed it worked for me.

1, create a shortcut if you allready don't have any.

2, right click and go to properties, shortcut tab.

3, in target box, at the end write " fullscreen=false" and yes, the space is needed.

4, start dungeon siege 2 from that shortcut and it should work.

May what ever Deity or God you believe in bless you. I can live with this solution - I have many games but this one is special to my family and I.... Thanks VERY much.

Well i had it working by lowering the resolution and putting the game in windowed mode from the shortcut settings (command line switches) but now after the most recent update, my install directory is not found. Afraid to reinstall, as in the past this has wiped out my saves and settings for game. . .
