Message-ID: <1991Jun11.210514.862@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu> Date: 11 Jun 91 21:05:14 GMT Sender: news@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Organization: The Ohio State University Lines: 17 Originator: smsmith@bottom.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: bottom.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu When I invoke a program that uses the mouse while in a DOS window (such as Big DOS), after I exit I cannot use my mouse anymore; that is, I can't call up the Desqview Menu by using the {Desq} buttons on my mouse. I have a two-button MS Mouse, and to call up the menu I just hit both simultaneously. I've tried the 'Revive Mouse' under Rearrange/Tune Performance but it never helps. I have to completely close the window and restart Big DOS to get my mouse back. Any suggestions? Stephen M.
