Why can't I use my mouse in GTA San Andreas?
Try alt-tabbing out of the game and then alt-tabbing back in. This refreshes the game’s recognition of your mouse. Works like a charm sometimes!

Oh, the classic GTA mouse issue! It's likely because GTA San Andreas was originally designed for consoles, not PCs, so sometimes the mouse can act up. A quick fix is to run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP or disable the visual themes. Also, check if your mouse drivers are up to date, that can sometimes fix it.
Just plug in a controller and forget the mouse. GTA feels better with it anyway.
You might need to fiddle with the game's settings file. Look online for a tutorial on how to modify the 'gta_sa.set' file to get your mouse working. It's a bit techy but it does the trick!
