I have noticed that this issue (Or similar to it) have been submitted in the past yet i have not seen any resolved (Unless in private conversations).
What happens right now is that i use steam on 2 PC's. 1 is a desktop and the other one is a laptop. On my desktop it works just fine and i can run the game to it's fullest and can play it normally while on my laptop all i see is the background behind the FTL window and after a very short period of time the music starts playing in the background while i cannot do anything in the game window. Because the game starts at a window mode by default the cursor will disappear once entering the window borders and re-appear once i get it out of it. When i try to run the game in fullscreen it will go all black and i will only hear music without the ability to do anything about it until i force shut down the game (With Alt + F4 for example).
I have updated the graphic drivers yesterday and all the other drivers are up to date as well.
Will be much appreciated if i can be guided for a solution.

I believe you posted on our GetSatisfaction as well?
As I said there, a dxdiag dump would be helpful if you could email it or post it here.

Thanks a lot for the very fast reply by the way! You guys are just amazing. I remember back in the day i asked for a DRM free version of FTL due to me playing at work and not able to connect to steam... Got a game within 3 hours of my E-mail...
Just wanted to make sure you guys know - I told all of my friends about it! Looking forward for a potential next game ^.^

I've answered your post on the GetSatisfaction, but I'm including an answer here for others that may stop by.
Can you try installing these up to date drivers? According to the dxdiag dump you emailed me, you're about 5 years out of date
