I have experienced the same problem with my home system (ATI VGAWonder bus mouse) when I exit Windows 3.0 and start up the Norton Commander or Cakewalk (MIDI sequencing software). The mouse cursor shows up, but does not move with the mouse or respond to clicks. I have found, though, that reloading the mouse driver before going into Cakewalk will *usually* make the mouse work in Cakewalk (not sure about NC). I just type mouse at the DOS prompt (mouse.com is in my path). I think it has something to do with the Microsoft supplied mouse driver for Windows 3.0. Hope this helps!
