Hi All,
Since my keyboard and mouse aren't working, I can't get passed the intro screens.

I have tried:
1. Unchecking Enhance Pointer Precision in the Mouse section of the control panel.
2. Tried running as Win 98/ME.
3. Tried running as Administrator.

All times I had to alt+tab out of the game. Running a Win 10 system, and wireless logitech mouse and keyboard.

Any thoughts?

On the first run, the intro is unskippable by intentional (and misguided) design.

Get the HD mod, among else it will bypass that.

Wow! That is terrible design, at least in 2019. Thanks Friend!

Well, in FarCry 2 everytime you start a new game, you have to go through 11+ minutes long (yes, I timed it), semi-interactive intro sequence. O_o

That's also crazy. Doesn't Skyrim do the same thing? At least their games last a few hundred hours.

IDK - I didn't play Skyrim, but Morrowind has a fully interactive, unskippable intro, but it contains whole character generation sequence and a short tutorial. After you go through it a hundred or more times, it can be a PITA. :) Luckily, Morrowind is very moddable, so there are mods that shorten it quite a bit and get rid of tutorial messages.

Much worse are the games that have unskippable cutscenes or dialogues. :[
