[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] PLAY 400

Hi NetLanders,

I am having a problem with Play 400, the new VGA+Mouse Sound
player/editor.  The interface is unexpectedly cool, and I like
it a lot, but I can't get my mouse cursor to appear on the
screen.  It seems that the program ignores my mouse altogether.
If I don't run the mouse driver, then it will complain about
not having a mouse.  If I run mouse.com, it will run, but no
mouse cursor will show up.

BTW, I have an optical mouse which is similar to the
Mouse System Mouse hooked up to COM1: (at least that's what
I have been using to setup programs).  Forgot the brand of
the mouse, but it is opto something.

Any help is appreciated!

All of the mouse problems i've ever encountered have been solved
by upgrading to the newest mouse driver. Try that first.
