I can't move my mouse

[The Holy Axolotl]

So I'm making my first game and the mouse cursor is stuck in the middle of the screen. I've just been working around it so far, by making all hotspots activated by walking on them, etc. but I put down my first object and can't find any way to pick it up, because as far as I know, you have to click it, and though it is a scrolling room, the middle is never on the object.

In case it's useful:
Mouse: Touchscreen
Game type: Sierra
32-bit processor

Even if there's no way to fix the mouse-cursor, please suggest some way to pick up an object without using it.

Are you saying that you are using touchscreen (not actual mouse device) and touching does not move the cursor? What operating system you are running it on?

Frankly I do not know how well touchscreen is supported by AGS on desktop (Windows/Linux). I know that mobile ports have special handling for that, but desktop version does not have same, and is relying on mouse input the operating system provides.

How do you make character walk though, do you use keyboard controls?
