[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Mouse problems

Could anyone help me with some problems I'm having getting my
mouse to work with a graphics application.

I have a Packard Bel PC 286 with a Packard Bell mouse (which is
labelled as Microsoft serial compatible).

I've just got a hand scanner called Info Scan (by Primax) that includes
a couple of graphics programs to edit scanned images (the nicest one
is a thing called La Palette).  The installation for the software asks
what type of mouse, so I said Microsoft serial (it also allowed for 
others: PS/2, Logitech, Mouse Systems).

The thing is the mouse doesn't work.  It almost does - when I move
it, it randomly moves the mouse cursor sometimes.

The package works under MS Windows 2.0, (a run-time version of this
is supplied).  The installation diskettes include mouse drivers.

Has anyone any clues?


Thanks for your help.
