I was having trouble getting Deluxepaint II to run on my Compaq VGA card when used with my Microsoft serial mouse. The program would load up, and the pointer appear, but after I moved the mouse, the entire system would hang. I called Electronic Arts, and they were of no help. I then dropped in at the ComputerLand from which the card came. The person there gave me a device-driver type program which Compaq has distributed which fixes a bug when the above mouse is used with the card (something about INT 10). I got my card in February, so I suppose later versions have the fix in ROM. But if you're having trouble, go yell at your computer dealer and get that fix. As for Compaq, why couldn't they have notified me of this? I am a registered user!
