- I have been trying for several days now to solve two problems.
-
- 1) I need to get my mouse working in a DOS box. Yes, I've
- read all about this many times and I have all the info
- I need to do this (supposedly), but I don't have a copy
- of the most recent Microsoft mouse driver. If I'm not
- mistaken, I need version 8.02. It is not located on
- ANY of my Windows 3.1 disks in compressed form, but I'm not
- suprised. I got my version through Z-NIX corp. and I haven't
- been happy woth them. Would some kind soul PLEASE e-mail me
- a copy or post one to this group?
-
- 2) I've heard that WIN 3.1 has a bug (no kidding! ;-) and that
- the addresses for the COM ports is screwed up. I think it was
- COM 3 and COM 4 that had the problem. Anyway, I running into
- a strange problem with my modem and I thought this might be the
- answer. I had heard that there was a patch available, but I can't
- seem to find it at any of the major ftp sites (simtel, cica, garbo)
- If someone could advise me on how to correct the port addresses or
- provide me with the patch, I'd be grateful.
-
- For those who are curious, the problem I'm experiencing with my
- modem is that sometimes when I'm in Windows (and ONLY when I'm in Windows),
- if the phone rings it causes the machine to reboot. Annoying to say the least.
- I've tried everyting I can think of and can find nothing that might cause this
- behavior. Any suggestions are welcome.
-
- Thanks in advance.

- Tim
