If certain programs are loaded immediately after booting, the computer appears to be locked, but after moving the mouse everything is back to normal, and the machine will not lock again until the next boot.
Two examples of such programs are: the WBAT menu by Horst Schäffer, and the DosZip file manager. I think there are several others but I do not remember now. For months and months this will happen every single time the computer is booted and these programs are loaded, but then suddenly the problem is gone for no apparent reason, to be back again after some more months. It could be related to changes in FDCONFIG.SYS and FDAUTO.BAT that we occasionally do, but I could never identify the implicated lines. I have observed this in several computers, and for the last several years. If I remember correctly, it also happened when I still was a MS-DOS user. The problem does not manifest if the mouse is physically disconnected. Is there a way of fixing that?
