	I have an interesting problem when I'm in a super vga mode
and am trying to use my mouse.  The mouse will not appear or track
all of the screen.  I'm putting my machine into a 640x480x256 mode
using turbo C++ and Turbo Pascal.  My mouse routines are from two
sources   Ezzel- Turbo C++ programming and O'brien Advanced programmers
guide.  The mouse works fine in standard vga modes (ie 640x480x16)
and also in other apps in Svga modes (windows).
	OK, anybody have any ideas?  I'm wondering if its either
my mouse routines, or perhaps the mouse.sys.  My mouse.sys is
kindof old (microsoft serial mouse: v 6.24 ?).  Any way I'd appreciate
any ideas, and does anyone know how to get in touch with microsoft
for updated drivers?  I couldn't find their phone number in any of
the documentation.
					thanks, Alex
