Hi all: One of my friends has a DTK 1230 computer (16mhz AT). We've installed two different mice, a Genius mouse and a Mouse Systems Omnimouse. Both Serial. They exhibit the same odd behavior: They work with their own test and paint programs, but won't work with either Windows 386 or windows 3.0 Anyone had a similar problem? I've installed 50+ mice over the last couple years and haven't had this problem before. -Tom -- ============================================================================= | Thomas M.

I have had similar problems with my genius mouse(GM 6000)
Solutions->
1: Use in 2 button mode. It works in 2 button mode, not in 3.
2: Make sure you are in com port 1 or 2, cause windows does not
use any others. ( boo, microsoft)

other pain with windows -- it changes the key repete delay, and has no
way of making it smaller. ( like NCC)dlow@hpspcoi.HP.COM (Danny Low) (08/21/90)

It does not use the mouse driver that is installed on the system. Did you reconfigure Windows for the Genius and Mouse Systems mice? That is the most likely problem if the mice work with everything but Windows.

I know that the old Mouse systems mouse driver was incompatible with windows 3.0 in the 386 mode (they told me). I don't know if Mouse Systems has a new driver out yet.
