[comp.windows.ms] Windows 386 Enhanced mode problems... - SOLVED!

I'm posting this just to mention that I've solved that freaky problem I had
on my PS/2 model 80 when running in 386 enhanced mode. The blue component
vanished from the RGB-palette etc.

The problem was the mouse driver used. When I 'converted' to Windows 3.0,
I just kept using my old mouse driver (MOUSE.COM) which came along with
the mouse itself when I got that about two years ago. I seemed to work okay,
and how could it have anything to do with the palette?

Well it did. When I replaced it with the driver (also MOUSE.COM) supplied
with Windows 3.0 all my troubles vanished. Funny, because both drivers are
from MicroSoft...

The 'hint' to solve this cave from a reader in Finland, but unfortunately
have I lost his E-mail address so I can't thank him directly. If you're
reading this - Thank you very much! - I'm so happy now that I can get full
value out of my 386 machine... THANKS!!!

- Hope ya'all get your problems solved too!!!

Regards,

Per Gotterup.
