[comp.windows.ms] Win 3, Wordperfect 5.1, and mouse.com

When I run WordPerfect 5.1 under Windows 3.0 in 386Enh mode, with my
serial (Microsoft-compatible) mouse's mouse.com loaded, WP does not
detect the presence of the mouse.  Every other mouse-using program I
have, however, does.  In Standard mode, WordPerfect does too.

Anybody know what's up?

I believe that you may be having a problem with the mouse driver.  Windows
3.0 in 386 enhanced mode seems to work with WP 5.1 if you use the sys.driver
rather than the .com driver.  Remember that in full screen mouse control is
set to the DOS application, and in the window mode control reverts to
windows 3.0.  Good luck.
