Mouse only moves up and down in the recovery environment
Hello All :)
Acronis TI 11 (8,101)
Windows 7 Professional
The problem started with the Sata drives not being recognised. This was cured by downloading the Safe Mode .iso and selecting that option from the boot menu of the recovery CD.
My next problem is slightly different to previous reported issues regarding USB mouse and keyboard problems... my keyboard works but no matter how I move my mouse, the cursor *only* ever goes up and down the screen vertically. Clicking a mouse button makes things worse as the cursor jumps to the right of the screen... no matter which button I click, the cursor moves to the right until it is no longer visible and I have to re-boot.
I've tried legacy USB option in BIOS, it is enabled. Disabling results in no mouse movement at all.
I've tried usbmouse=off which results in no mouse.
I realise that I'm running an older version of True Image and would be prepared to upgrade *IF* I knew upgrading will definitely solve the mouse problem but, looking at all the reported USB mouse/keyboard problems on the forum, I've yet to be convinced.
Has anyone seen and solved this bizarre up and down mouse movement in the recovery environment?
EDIT: Both the mouse and keyboard are wired, plugged directly into USB ports of the computer.

You can also try using the TAB key or the Shift-tab for reverse.
