Pause Menu Freezing

When I hit Escape to access the game menu, the mouse pointer will freeze until I hit Escape an go back to the game. I can position my mouse before hitting Escape so that I can access a menu, like the Save Game menu, but once there I can't do anything because the mouse pointer doesn't move. Anyone else experience this?

    What game is this, because i know theres a problem on some windows 7 systems on tiberian sun + firestorm and red alert 2 , where when you press escape only a Gray bar appears but you can guess where to click, if it is take a look at this.

  • If this is about Command & Conquer 1, this is fixed by changing the compatibility mode of C&C95.exe to Windows 95.

    I'm running the Ultimate Collection and trying to play C&C 1. I'm wondering if playing in full screen mode would also get me around this bug, but trying to launch the game from the shortcut on my desktop doesn't seem to work. I just get dumped back in the Origin launch window.
