I finally dumped the Logitech driver (mouse.com) on my system in favor of
using Windows 3.0's mouse.sys instead.  Besides having trouble using the
mouse within windows if the Logitech drivers were in, I was having trouble
in other programs outside windows.  (Just by way of example: Broderbund's
"Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego" worked ok with the Logitech Drivers,
but the "Where in Time" program didn't recognize the mouse at all.)  With
mouse.sys I haven't seen any problems yet.
