[comp.windows.ms] My mouse sometimes quits in W3. Can it be restored?

ronz@CSUFresno.EDU (Ron Zastovnik) (01/09/91)

After running some programs, my mouse just stops working.  I can run a program
in a dos window that uses a mouse and it works fine.  When I return to Windows
it still does not work.  I have to re-start windows.

I am using a Logitec mouse on COM2.   One would think there would be a way
to restore the mouse.  Desqview has a restore mouse function that I have used
quite a bit since I use Desqview a lot.   Does anyone know of a way to restore
the mouse in Windows 3?

Use the original Logitech mouse driver in CONFIG.SYS (device=mouse.sys)
or in AUTOEXEC.BAT (mouse.com). Don't use the W3 mouse driver. Then the
mouse will be available full time and will work properly.

 I have the same problem in 386enh mode but works fine if I run in
 standard mode.  Any help would be appreciated.  I am running a logitech
 serial mouse using the supplied windows 3.0 driver..  I should try the
 bb.
