I am having problem running non-window applications with Windows 3.0.  Upon
returning from the non-window application (WordPerfect), my Logitech serial
mouse would act rare.   The cursor movement on the screen doesn't corresponse
to the movement of the mouse.  It would delay and move real fast, and sometime
even seems to have some keystroke buffer up (Suddenly, the windows would move
around and applications would be activated.).  Windows 3.0 itself seems to be
fine.  I don't use the mouse and just use the keyboard, Windows 3.0 works
flawlessly.  This is not limited to WordPerfect.  I have tried couple different
non-window application (activated via the file manager of Windows 3.0). 
I suspect that the serial port that the mouse is connected is reset or the
setting is changed when the non-window application is run.  Doesn't that
make any sense?  Any idea what the problem is?  And how to fix it?
Speedy response is greatly appreciated.  I have 7 days to return the system
for a full refund (if it my hardware that causing the problem).


Please don't tell me I didn't set up my non-window application correctly.
I used Windows 3.0's setup program to set up WordPerfect.  So, it should be
correct.
