Default CTMOUSE in Win98 DOS window (or full screen)?

AFAIK, yes, that's the case. Sorry, I didn't understand before that your
purpose was to use the CTMOUSE driver in a DOS window, as opposed to in
real-mode DOS. AFAIK, it's generally true that you can't load real-mode
drivers under Windows. I'm not *certain* that it's *always* the case, but
it's generally the case.

Is there a way to run a program in a DOS window under Win98 and have
the CTMouse (CuteMouse) driver installed? CTMouse 2.0 supports the
wheel in DOS mode. When I try to load it in a DOS window, it says
"device not found".I think this message may be due to the fact that the

PS2 port is
"owned" by the Windows mouse driver.

I have a PS/2 Logitech mouse. The driver loads and
works in DOS boot mode.


OR is there any other way to get wheel support in a DOS program running
in a window or full screen over windows?Have you tried loading the DOS

CTMouse driver from your config.sys or
autoexec.bat before Windows starts?


Yes, and also on the .BAT properties for the DOS window and other
places, to no avail.

Is it as simple as "no DOS (real mode) driver can run in DOS over
windows"
would that be true?

Thanks,
