Can anyone suggest an > alternative mouse driver to try? TIA I can't speak for others, but ... 1). So you tried 1.9, 2.0, and 2.1b4? Though it's a long shot, I would personally try them all first: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/mouse/ I know my older laptop with trackpad didn't work with Cutemouse (buggy, unusable), sadly. 2). Try a real USB (UHCI only) mouse with Bret's drivers: http://www.bretjohnson.us/ 3). Try connecting a real PS/2 mouse (or does the netbook not have such port?). Otherwise, I guess you're stuck without it (personally I don't like the mouse). If you really insist on it, you can dual boot to Linux (TinyCore? Zipslack? tty? Slitaz?) for DOSEMU or DOSBox, though those have their own built-in drivers (and no wheel support). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
