Has anybody experienced the following problems: I have a IBM PS/2-70 with 6Megs of memory, VGA, 120Megs of hard disk. If I run mouse.com before starting up windows 3.0 in 386 mode, the colors in windows are all yellow'ish, meaning that white turns yellow, blue to green, grey to black etc. Otherwise everything seems to work ok. This problem does not appear if I start with WIN /S. The same problem appears reversed if I launch a non-windows graphical application from windows. The application does not recognize mouse unless mouse.com is executed in the starting batch, but if it is done, the colors are all wrong in the same way as above. I've made a PIF file for this application (batch), but no luck. Again WIN /S does not give these symptoms. If I start the application manually, that is, I go to DOS Prompt from Windows, run the batch, then everything seems fine. All the above symptoms seem to be specific for IBM PS/2 or its mouse. On another non-IBM 386 machine everything works fine and the DOS application does not even require mouse.com but seems to find the Windows mouse support Ok. Any Solutions? Harri Pasanen
