This may sound stupid but hey I'm just trying to help...

DOOM seems to be much stickier about its setup that many other games I've seen.
Double check that setup configures DOOM for a mouse.

Sounds stupid but most games pick up the mouse and automatically use it. DOOM
doesn't. I had this problem for awhile too and decided to check the config
and now it works!

Hope this helps.
