In order to use Windows in the DOS compatibility box, you MUST set the mouse
driver to Microsoft Mouse.  OS/2 'installs' its own mouse driver in the DOS
Box as a Microsoft Mouse.  The problem with running Windows in the DOS Box
is that you only have the 640K or so memory that OS/2 allows for DOS--no
extended memory (bummer!).  By the way, you must have OS/2 1.2 or higher
in order for this to work.  Previous versions of OS/2 didn't offer mouse
drivers in graphics modes (although the text mode drivers work fine)...

Hope that helped!  %-)
