Newbie, tutorial problems

I am new to the torque game engine. I have a little C++ background but not a lot. I hope to be able to program games and I would like to start here. Though I came across some problems. I have went step by step through the tutorial and everything worked out perfectly except two things. When I ran the game, the mouse wasn't working(but the keyboard WASD were). Also when the player collided with logo the score wouldn't rise but the logos would be destroyed. I've checked the script numerous of times and no errors. Any help will be appreciated
