Having trouble with the controls in Mario Galaxy

[blzd1]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with the controls in Mario Galaxy. In fact, I can't even play it. Is it even possible with a keyboard and mouse? At the very beginning of the game, when I try selecting a planet with the mouse, the hand moves slightly but not enough to choose one. When I try using the keyboard controls to select a planet, by say hitting the right (d) or left key (A), it will go to the extreme of the screen. What should I do?

This is where I am having problems:

Here is a picture of my control setup:

I appreciate the help.

Thanks

The IR should be set to cursor X/Y (you can set all the controls to default to do this the easy way), then you should easily be able to use your mouse as the cursor ingame.
