Hi - several weeks ago I read about a person who had a similar problem -
If anyone remebers the solution, I'd appreciate a post or mail.

I have a DOS game which requires mouse support (CONQUEST.EXE from
chyde.uwasa.fi) - it runs fine on my 386sx system.  When I load Windows and
create a PIF for the program, and try to run it, I get the message "Mouse not
found" (or loaded or something.)  I get similar response when I choose DOS
Prompt from the Main group and type in the game name.  Is there a way to get
DOS applications mouse access once Windows is running?

I have a Microsoft mouse and am using the Windows mouse driver.  I just
remembered that I have another DOS Mouse-using program which I haven't tried
running from Windows; I'll give that a shot and see if the same problem
happens.  Suggestions?
