Question.  Does the same thing go for a mouse?  My brother has a DOS
machine, and we're trying to put Wind95 on it, starting directly from
the CD.  The mouse is fine until the installation process gets to the
"setting up hardware" part of it.  At that time the mouse goes dead.

The mouse is Logitech.  I've tried going through Control Panel.  I've
tried both Logitech and generic mouse drivers.  Regardless, I find the 
mouse dead.

What's going on here?
