Windows provides its own mouse driver for use with programs that were
written for the Windows environment.  If you intend to use DOS programs
full-screen, you must also load a "conventional" (non-Windows) mouse
driver before loading Windows.  I'm using a Microsoft mouse and load its
driver in CONFIG.SYS.
