[comp.windows.ms] Help! Using Win3 with MS C 6.0 & MS mouse

jfbruno@rodan.acs.syr.edu (John Bruno) (08/15/90)

I have some "beginner" questions.

I just got MS C6.0 & Win3 SDK.  How do I use MS C 6.0 w Win3 without having
to exit Win3? Just now I tried to exit Win3 and then loaded the Microsoft
Mouse driver (by typing mouse).  When I type "pwb" to run the workbench, I
can move the cursor with the mouse and I can see files being loaded. When
it gets to the last file, though, it just hangs and the cursor freezes and
I'm forced to reboot. What am I doing wrong??????

Thanks for any help (please email).

Thanks for the responses,

The problem turned out to be Novell Netware ELS I v2.0a 9/15/87 (I should have
mentioned my TSRs in the original post, oh well).  When I run Win3.0 when on
Novell, it bitches at me to "update network software".  When I run the pwb
from C6.0, it just hangs.  If I don't log in to Novell, everything works fine.
What a pain to have to update Novell, I mean it works with everything else. I
guess I just won't bother and not use the network with pwb, Novell is probably
charging some ridiculous amount for an upgrade anyways.
