I am still having mouse problems in safe mode in 98SE att: Mikhail and PCR

You do realize that the mouse only works in DOS apps and not at the main DOS
screen?

Thanks for your help, Mikhail. I have made the adjustment and now I will
test to see if it works.

I'm not the one that has to make up my mind, Dan is! I use command.com in
the autoexec.bat, have never edited dosstart.bat and the mouse works fine in
DOS.

Well, OK. I've put a few things into DOSStart.bat, but "mouse.exe" was
always there. Anyway, he must discover which one he's got, & only that
one should be put in.

I don't think it belongs in Autoexec.bat, though. That would load it at
every boot. Windows doesn't need it. Putting it into DOSStart.bat, it
will only execute on a Restart to MS-DOS Mode. Of course, if the
Properties of "Exit to DOS" pif were altered to warm boot, DOSStart.bat
won't run...

"Quit" to DOS (Re-started MS-DOS mode)

a. Accessed from "START, Shut Down, Re-start in MS-DOS mode", unless
"Exit to DOS" pif was converted to "Warm Boot".
b. Accessed from any .pif that ISN'T a "Warm Boot" pif, as described
below.
c. Is NOT a warm boot; Config.sys & Autoexec.bat are NOT re-run, but are
honored to the extent Windows has not mussed the environment they set.
d. Dosstart.bat is run, if present.
e. "EXIT" reloads Windows (from 4K stub), also without a boot.
Ctrl-Alt-Del boots Windows.

He'd have to put into the .pif's private Autoexec.bat, then.
