I have the game working fine except for one wierd thing. The mouse cursor continually moves up and left to the top corner of the screen. It moves slow enough that I'm able to fight with it to click some things, but it's just too fast for others.

I'm running on WinXP, and I've tried both 95 and 98 compatibility mode.  Anything else I can try to stop the mouse from doing this?  Everything else works perfectly, it'd really be silly to have something like this stop the game from working.

Oddly, I've had that same problem, but it was essentially a joystick 
issue, I just had to recalibrate it so it wouldn't register as being 
tilted in any direction when it... well, wasn't.

Awfully sounds likle you just need to calibrate your joystick (or unplug it)
