[comp.lang.pascal] Rnd 2: Poss Mouse IRQ conflict w/ TP6,WP5.1

granoff@vaxwrk.enet.dec.com (Mark H. Granoff) (05/02/91)

Last week I posted an article describing a problem which manifested itself by
causing my PC to think I had pressed the right shift key (when I hadn't)
resulting in, e.g. upper case characters when I expected lower case characters.

Fwiw, over the weekend I tried a different keyboard, and the problem seemed to
go away, which only proves that my keyboard is cheap. :-)

The general concensus from the net was that I needed a new mouse driver. 
(Thanks, btw, for the responses.)  So, I downloaded MOUSE.SYS v5.01 from
Logitech's BBS.

Unfortunately, the problem persists (with my original keyboard) but not as
badly, so I am led to believe that this problem is more software related than
hardware related, and may be able to be solved thru some software tweeking.  I
just need some ideas, now, as to where to tweek.  Got any?

To refresh your memory, I load the following things into memory: QEMM 386 with
the IGNOREA20 and UNUSUAL8042 switches (among others), a couple VGA related
things, ramdrive.sys, pophelp (Object Professional's Help TSR).

Thanks (again) for any help.  Since I have cross posted this, please respond
directly to me, granoff@vaxwrk.enet.dec.com.
