I am not sure what programs are giving you trouble, but I have not come
across this mouse problem.  I have used Norton Commander, PCTools and
Word Perfect, each in its' own window with each one using the mouse.
Obviously I can't call up the DV menu with the mouse while one of these
programs is using it, but if I go to a window that does not use the
mouse, then DV uses it as usual.   Mouse performance is not affected
even after those windows are closed.

I think DV is great, but it sure takes alot of tinkering to get it
running smoothly.  Happy tinkering :).
