I have a GVC "lite-mouse." It's an optical mouse that's suppossed to be Microsoft mouse compatible, however it doesn't seem to work under windows. Using the driver given, I type "lmouse /m1" and it replies, "Microsoft mouse installed on com1..." but when I try to install the window's mouse driver, it doesn't find any driver. What am I doing wrong? Chris Tung rui@athena.mit.edu

Perhaps the mouse is only MS compatible from the outside of the mouse driver, or perhaps it is only compatible with older versions of MS drivers. The point is moot however as MS Windows does not use the driver at all, but goes direct to the mouse (apparantly there is a good reason for it :-). The driver is installed for the benefit of DOS progs being run under Windows. So I think you must convince _Windows_ itself to like your mouse :-(. Good luck, Aaron. >Chris Tung >rui@athena.mit.edu -- _ Aaron "The Entity" Roydhouse / Ph: +64 4 726-363 A/H: +64 4 850-988 / \ -=[ The Cave MegaBBS ]=- / Fax: +64 4 4996301 BBS: +64 4 643-429 |@/ aaron@cavebbs.gen.nz / Mail: P.O.
