Here's a follow-up.  People keep writing me and saying it should work.  Well,
it doesn't.  Here's what happens.

I type "win", and I get the Windows title screen.  About 4 or 5 seconds later,
I get my dos prompt back, but this time, the system is locked up.

Here's my config.sys

files= 40
BREAK=ON
device=C:\himem.sys
BUFFERS=40
SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /P /E:256
DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS

Now, here's my autoexec.bat  (at least, the command lines....

@echo off
rem    WINDOWS  BATCH   FILE
c:\mouse\mouse501.com
set comspec=c:\dos\command.com
SET SOUND=C:\SB
path D:\WINDOWS;C:\;c:\dos;c:\pctools;c:\utils;c:\virus;c:\batch\;
prompt $e[1;31m$p $g $e[36m
c:\utils\visitype
set TEMP=D:\WINDOWS\TEMP

That should help you.....(I hope)  Please, will someone tell me why it won't
work.......

(mouse501.com is my mouse driver  (Logitech driver version 5.01))

Any ideas?  I'm desperate.  (My job's on the line....)
