I am trying to help a friend set up his PC system. Please EMAIL any responses as I do not regularly/ever read this newsgroup. He has an IBM PC clone with 386, VGA, 640K main and 1064K extended memory. He also has a Logitech (serial) mouse and Windows 3.0 as well as WordPerfect 5.1. He is a summary of what I have tried. Using MOUSE.COM in AUTOEXEC.BAT and the mouse in COM1, the mouse only works with WP (set to mouse driver MOUSE.COM) & PopDos if you use "MOUSE 2". If the mouse is in COM2, only "MOUSE" will work. In either configuration Windows 3.0 won't work. I set Windows to "Logitech serial mouse" (I've tried the other drivers but they don't work at all with the Logitech mouse). Windows will work if you set DEVICE=C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.SYS /2 in CONFIG.SYS (with mouse in COM2) but then WordPerfect doesn't work even if set to "Logitech serial mouse". I find all of this very bizzare and it has wasted a great deal of my time. I had a similar problem with the COM ports when setting up a Logitech trackball for another friend with a Toshiba laptop. Can anyone tell me how to set up the system so that the mouse will work with WordPerfect 5.1 AND Windows 3.0 _at_ _the_ _same_ _time?_ As I said before, please EMAIL responses. = Richard J.
