Odd problems, win 7?

I have this really odd issue running FC2 on Win 7 Ultimate x64.

Everytime I exit a car or door or close the map, my guy aims down his sights for no reason and I have to right click it away. Not that annoying but it screws with the flow of the game.
My second problem though is that cars automatically reverse as soon as I enter them, so they are impossible to drive unless I drive backwards everywhere.

I tried running in DX 9 and 10 modes, I started it as Admin and in Xp sp 3 compatibility mode. I tried patching it and I tried changing the controls. Turning all settings to low, including turning off AA and Vsync. Finally I also tried disabling crossfire in CCC. Nothing helped at all.

I don't have any of the infamous FC2 Win 7 performance problems, runs fine on ultra in 1080p.

I have no idea what's going on, google didn't help at all, anyone have a similar issue? Or at least an idea what is wrong?

System specs.
Q6600 clocked to 2.8Ghz instead of 2.4
Crossfire 5770
4gb Corsair DDR2 Ram
Gigabyte p45 Ds3

SIgh, figured it out. Lying behind the computer was a plugged in 360 gamepad. No buttons were pressed, but apparently just having it plugged in screwed with the game.
