Oh, the classic GTA mouse issue! Usually, it's because GTA San Andreas doesn't play nice with modern systems. Try running it in compatibility mode for Windows XP or Windows 98 and make sure you run it as administrator. Often, this fixes the mouse problem. If not, there's a DLL file you can download called 'Dinput8.dll' that you just drop into the game's install folder. Works like a charm for most!

Have you tried turning it off and on again? Not just the game, but your entire PC. Classic IT solution, but hey, it surprisingly fixes things more often than not.

Just alt-tab out and back into the game. Works 9 times out of 10. No need to mess with compatibility modes or files.

Honestly, just get a gamepad. San Andreas was meant to be played with a controller anyway. Plus, you'll thank me when you get to the flying missions.
