Default Re: Can an SE4 game be saved without a mouse?

Wow, that's a great and varied list of working solutions! Thanks, everyone!

I gathered a USB mouse (a Microsoft one, so PnP didn't have any trouble recognizing it) and plugged it in, and XP allowed it to take over the pointer - an hour of SE4 orders and other stuff saved!

But the other suggestions would also have worked, except apparently the PS/2 one, in my case anyway.

(BTW, to answer parabolize's question, it is running XP, but it failed to recognize the re-plugged PS/2 mouse.)

You don't really need a Microsoft mouse to guarantee that UPnP has no problems with it. All you need to avoid is $2 no name brand mice.
