I had the problem with a Mouse Systems mouse and a logitech trackman.
When I updated the drivers to the MOST recent drivers, all the mouse
related problems whent away. It looks like Borland is _USING_ the newest
features of the mouse drivers and if they are not there, things don't
work right. It looks like if we want the latest and greatest, then we
have to make sure every thing is up to date. That seems only reasonable.
