- I've noticed something strange recently while trying to use the mouse
- with DOS applications running in a window. I tried this with three
- DOS applications (WordPerfect 5.1, Paradox 4.0 and Quattro Pro 4.0)
- and got different results with each one.
-
- Paradox: mouse works fine in a window
-
- Quattro Pro: mouse doesn't work at all in a window
-
- WordPerfect: I have two cursors on the screen, the normal mouse arrow and
- also a block cursor - they sort of track each other but don't usually
- coincide. If I can get them to coincide or move the mouse so that the
- block cursor is at the top of the screen, then clicking the mouse
- button will activate the menu. Unfortunately, the block cursor is
- usually about 1/4 inch below and to the right of the arrow cursor.
-
- I'm using a Microsoft mouse and the driver says version 8.2a. PC is a
- Gateway 486DX. Any ideas why this should be happening?
