direct input error launching game

[ckp]

When I try to launch a Dreamcast game from Bigbox (via rocket launcher), I get a direct input error from Demul emulator. I am also using Xpadder for my 360 controller.

Doing the same exact thing from regular Launchbox, I have NO issue at all.

oops, may bad, i also get this in regular Launchbox. idirectinput create device mouse failed.

if i don't have Xpadder running, i don't get this issue. but i need Xpadder to be running.

i finally noticed that this doesn't happen if i leave the mouse inside the screen of the computer running LB/BB. sometimes i control that computer from my Mac with Synergy (mouse and keyboard). when the game was unzipping i would often bring the mouse back over to my Macbook to do other things. i think this is what caused the error with Demul. 

as long as i leave the mouse/keyboard active inside that computer, no error!

problem solved.
