I too have an ATI VGA wonder, but when I got my Logitech bus mouse, I disabled the ATI mouse interface and I'm using the board that came with the mouse. When I tried using windows, I experienced the same problems reported above and in previous messages; mostly, whenever I tried to run any kind of app, it looked as if the display switched to a lower res. mode and then everything locked up. So, I stopped using the Logitech drivers (I had the same problem with both mouse.com and mouse.sys) and I now use the mouse driver supplied by MicroSoft that came with Windows.... haven't had a problem since. On an unrelated topic, I had the same problems others are having with the *.spx files for Screen Peace. Not the ones from scrnpe.zip, but the ones from spx.zip. It couldn't find the files (but it knew the filenames..?!?) and then it would terminate with an unrecoverable ... error. I made a directory c:\saver as instructed, and put saver.exe on the load= line in win.ini. I left ALL the *.spx files in the windows directory, (c:\saver was empty) then started windows (btw, c:\saver was also in my path). I used file manager to move the .spx files to c:\saver one by one, and after each one I killed screen peace and started it over again. By doing this, I got all the .spx files over to c:\saver with none of the aforementioned errors UNTIL I moved clock.spx over. Then I got all the errors again. So, I have everything working now except for clock.spx, which I deleted since I figured it wasn't any good. Does anyone have a good clock.spx? Edwin Elberson ewe@gator.cacs.usl.edu
