heheheheheh...
Well, as the person who suggested this, I think I should respond.
Personally, I see no reason for there NOT to be Vmouse.sys in one's
config.sys file. OS/2 puts it in there by default, so anyone not having it
had to remove it consciously. Either that, or they did not install
dos support until later and|or Selective Install screwed it up.
Make sure if you want to use DOS that you have ALL the "V" drivers
loaded. The are necessary for Dos to run.
No dos applications' mouse interface should work without this installed...
windows and os2 have their own drivers though. I guess some programs
that ignore mouse drivers and provide their own access should work.
[ Wow I actually contributed to the FAQ! 8-) ]
