Mass Effect 2 in-game controls not responding. PC- version ORIGIN games

: in-game, cannot do hack function, controls are cut off. And can not quick heal Sheppard, can however revive a squad-mate so that only "kind-of works, and kind-of doses\'t cut it!" I went to origin chat-help and talked to someone named Ashok, he was useless, He has never played mass effect and didn't\'t know what I was talking about. Thanks for nothing Origin. You Suck! 
Can someone get a developer to help me? 
I paid a lot of money for this game and I expect everything to work like it should.

    First of all; keep it down a little. This is a forum which mostly is used by players to help other players. It is not our fault if anything has gone wrong or if your game isn't working so save the anger for those who might be the blame.

    I've got some ideas what the issues are for you:

    Issue no 1: It's been a while since I played trough mass effect 2. However, according to what I've read on the mass effect wiki about medi-gel and Unity, Sheppard shouldn't be healed by the Unity spell in ME2 unless you have bought the right upgrades.

    Issue no2: I presume you are referring to which "code part" that is currently marked when you write about your cursor. If you aren't; drop the mouse and start using the keyboard (Arrows and space, I believe). However, since I presume that you already are using the keyboard; have you remapped any of the keys? If so that might be the problem. Look trough the key bindings to find which key is currently selected as "use" or something like that. If I'm not wrong that one should be the one you are looking for.

    Good luck, and please keep a good tone in these forums

    If you have played mass effect 2, then you would understand what I 'm talking about. "Computer code hacking" is a part of mass effect game-play. sometimes it allows you access to other areas other times you get credits or other in-game stuuf. Every time I click open one of these computer hack things the screen opens, and at this point I'm supposed to sellect and match up bit of code that are scrolling up the sceen. my cursor moves around the screen just fine, but it will not allow me to select the codes. my Sheppard is now stuck in an enclosed area within the "Horizon mission" I can't leave that area without completing the "computer- hack" in that section. now I'm Pissed Off! 


    Is that clear enough for you?

    This game can have some issues selecting objects when you have low framerates. Normally this is only in the 3D environment, however, and I don't think this applies to the hacking minigame. Still, the Geforce GT 120 is an entry level GPU so try to lower your resolution. Also make sure you're using the right keys for the hacking minigame, namely the movement and action keys. By default, WASD and spacebar (ZQSD on AZERTY boards). Try remapping your keys if that doesn't work.

    Medigel isn't supposed to heal you until you researched this ability, as mentioned above.
