- I'm sure this is a horrible FAQ, but I have been waiting around a
- couple of weeks now, and haven't seen an answer. So I'm going to
- burden the net by asking it yet again.
-
- My mouse (Z-NIX serial; supposed to be MS-mouse compatible) simply
- refuses to behave rationally under Win3.1. Under 3.0 it was fine, but
- when I upgraded, it started doing the jumping back and forth thing.
- I'll move the mouse slowly in one direction, and the cursor will go
- that way, stop, go backwards, etc. Fine mouse control is simply
- impossible.
-
- Oddly, this problem is significantly more serious in the horizontal
- direction; vertical is almost normal.
-
- I have done everything I could think of: cleaned the mouse;
- shuffled around (and even deleted altogether) MOUSE.COM and MOUSE.SYS;
- changed the mouse tracking speed; changed every parameter on the mouse
- port (COM1, which it shares with nothing; there is a modem on COM2 and
- no other serial device); switched to every (serial) mouse driver that
- came with Win3.1; and I even tried separating the mouse wire from the
- other wires, in case I was getting interference.
-
- I tried replacing MOUSE.DRV with the Win3.0 version, but got a
- startup error when I tried to get into windows. So, is there a known
- solution to this problem? An updated driver? ANYthing?
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- -Gary
