   Hi all:

   One of my friends has a DTK 1230 computer (16mhz AT).  We've installed
   two different mice, a Genius mouse and a Mouse Systems Omnimouse.  Both
   Serial.  They exhibit the same odd behavior:  They work with their own
   test and paint programs, but won't work with either Windows 386 or
   windows 3.0

   Anyone had a similar problem?  I've installed 50+ mice over the last
   couple years and haven't had this problem before.

   -Tom

I have had similar problems with my genius mouse(GM 6000)
Solutions-> 
    1:  Use in 2 button mode.   It works in 2 button mode, not in 3.
    2:  Make sure you are in com port 1 or 2, cause windows does not
	use any others. ( boo, microsoft)

other pain with windows -- it changes the key repete delay, and has no
way of making it smaller. ( like NCC)
