Launchbox - mouse cursor automatically moves

[Andreas84]

Hello,

when I start the program, the mouse cursor automatically moves to the top left. I have no way to get into the options to make a backup.

Does anyone know the problem or how else I can make a backup.

Close LaunchBox, then navigate to \\LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml and open that up in a text editor. Look for a "<EnableGamepad>true</EnableGamepad>" (without quotes) and then change true to false. Save the file and close it, then reopen LaunchBox. Mouse should stop doing that. Sounds like you have controllers enabled and the "Use all controllers" checked and you have a device that is sending a signal. This happens a lot with some peripherals like wheels.

Worked.

I have lived with the problem for many many months.

You saved me from reinstalling the entire system. Thank you very much.

This worked like a charm! The solution was less than obvious. Not sure I would have figured that out.

the setting doesn't stay off. everytime I set EnableGamepad to false, it eventually comes back on without my doing anything. What could I be doing wrong?

Can anyone help before I write a script that forcably sets the property everytime LB opens?
