Well, I think I have found the problem, but not the solution. If I type "ctmouse", the system says that a COM mouse is installed, but my mouse is PS/2.
The problem is that when I type "ctmouse /p", the system says that it's unable to find a PS/2 mouse. How can I say to FreeDOS that my mouse is not COM? thaks 2007/11/30, Enbor . <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I've finally got it!
