[comp.windows.ms] win

root@garykj.austin.ibm.com (03/09/91)

I have 386/SX with 2 meg memory, I installed ms-dos 4.01 and win 3.0.
I have the following mouse problems.
If I do not start mouse.com  Windows mouse works fine but I have
no mouse for DOSSHELL.
If I start the mouse.com from autoexec.bat I have mouse for dosshell
but when I exit dosshell and start windows I have no mouse for
windows.
Has anyone seen thsi problem.
Thanks
Gary

Keywords: WIN

I have a possibly related win problem.  A ps/2 55 with 2MB and a BICC Ethernet
board.  With the ether board drivers in the config.sys, the first time I load
win after booting it takes a couple of minutes AND when loaded the mouse
is unusable since it overshoots any hand movements horribly.  Any
application and even drawing wallpaper runs at less than 1/10 speed (not
timed!).  After getting out of win and rerunning it it is fine.

Taking out the bicc drivers and bus arbitration driver win behaves
like win all the time.

Any ideas?  Ive tried a swap file!

I have a similar problem on 386-33 (4 MB) running in enhanced mode. 
When I run windows, the mouse will work maybe 1 time in 10, whether or
not I load mouse.com.  I have driven myself crazy over this and I cannot
find a problem.

If I figure it out, I will post it.  If anyone can help, please let me
know because windows is alittle hard to use without a mouse.

Christopher Landers PURDUE UNIV, sorry but I am not gary bass.

my 386/16mhz may have a similar problem as the other note
about pro logic... mouse.  If I start mouse.com or mouse.sys
appropriatlly DOSSHELL(4.01) works but windows has no mouse.
If I kill the mouse driver and turm turbo off I have a mouse
for windows then I cut turbo on I still have mouse.
I just upgraded to 2 meg and went from standart mode to
enhansed mode.  Anyway tahts what is happening.
Thanks
