Help help. Mouse pointer is off

I just reinstalled DCS A-10 and Flaming Cliff 3 modules after getting the serial numbers (my hard drive crashed and I put in a new one, then reinstalled DCS). Now when I go into the game, the pointer is off. To click a button, e.g. A/P, IFF, TCN, I must got above and to the left of that button to get it to work, and that is no where near the button. I can no longer move the pointer directly over what I want but rather a 1/4 of an inch to the top and left of the selection. I removed the two modules but I still get the same results--pointer being off. Is there a way to re-calibrate the mouse pointer? Or, is there another suggestion for my problem?

This can happen if DCS and Windows run at a different resolutions. You need to match the resolution of DCS to your Desktop resolution.

Thanks

 

Thank you both. I tried both your solutions and they worked. My system resolution was, in fact, different from my game settings. I changed the resolution so that they matched, then I ran the DCS fix. Again, thanks to both of you for your help.

maybe but why does it happen random with no changes at all to resolutions?

It hasn't happened to me except from when the resolution was different. Maybe one time, like a couple of years ago and a repair fixed it, but I'm not sure.
