I upgraded to MS Windows 2.03 earlier this year. I have been unable to run standard applications in Windows because I loose control of my Logitech serial 3 button mouse when I return to the Windows environment. My hardware configuration: PC/XT Turbo Clone (4.77 & 8MHz) 640Kb RAM Hayes 1200b compatible modem (internal) on COM2 Logitech 3 button Serial Mouse on COM1 (20MB HD, HERC etc..) When I create a PIF file, I usually set the (modifies com2 option) when using communications packages. Regardless when using Lotus 123 or Epsilon( an emacs lookalike), which do not use the mouse or modem, I loose control of my mouse on return, eventhough the PIF files do not modify COM1 or COM2. ........Why?? I would appreciate any help or revelations about using Windows 2.03 on an 8088. Bob McKinstry Baker 2 MRI Massachusetts General Hospital Fruit Street, Boston, MA 02114
