I have a Paradise Autoswitch EGA Card running on a Fountain 286-AT clone.
Codeview would only work properly in 43 line mode.  In 25 line mode the
now-classic garish display would come up (magenta on yellow I beleive) and
the display would blank completely at the first keystroke.  The mouse
appeared to work, the Paradise only had display problems (actually, Codeview
has the problems!).

After obtaining a free patch from Microsoft,  Codeview works perfectly,
including the mouse.

You are, of course, using the new mouse.sys included with MSC 4.0 right?
