Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).:
I am using a ps5 controller and used "Joytokey" ,I know this software is a simulated mouse, not a controller So I use "Joytokey" to simulate my controller as a keyboard and mouse, But when I turn on the XMouse Button my Joytokey will expire and won't work This will cause the XMouse Button to also fail to work.a solution to make the joytokey still work when I turn on the x mouse?

Sorry I have no idea, never heard of JoytoKey nor how it works or why it would conflict with XMBC.
XMBC uses mouse hooks. I'm not sure how JoytoKey but I don't expect it uses hooks itself because joystick/pad controllers do not work through windows hook queues. So I cant really see how XMBC can "expire" it - maybe you need to try explaining that a bit better. Does it just stop working, does it crash / exit it? It is unclear.

Please refrain from filling other topics with "thank u" messages too. I got very close to deleting/blocked your account before seeing this genuine question because I thought you were just spamming!

Games often block XMBC to prevent cheating. If the game *is* blocking XMBC, there is nothing that ca be about that by you or XMBC - you would need to talk to the game developers (but they probably wont listen if they have blocked it because people have been caught cheating with XMBC!)
