This is probably too simple, to be what you are looking for... but is the driver loaded? I'm running an IBM 486DX2 33 with MS DOS, and I never bothered adding a line to autoexec.bat, because I don't need it very often, so I just have to remember to type 'mouse' at the command prompt, prior to running a prog that need mouse support. -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
