Hmmm.... Dunno about the relation to mouse drivers... :-) but I've had, and
still has to some extent, a similar problem.

I had Win3 running just fine in 386 mode with HIMEM as the EMS-driver.
But then I got QEMM 5.11 and my problems began...

As the QEMM's docs suggest, I removed HIMEM.SYS from my CONFIG.SYS and let
QEMM take care of the EMS...

This work fine everywhere but with Win3's 386 mode!

When I fire Win3 up, I get as far as the blue intro-screen where I get
bumped back out to the DOS prompt, still in the graphics mode in which the
logo was shown - the screen wasn't blanked nor did any messages appear.

I tried to free more memory (I've got 4 megs) and now I got a little bit
further - at first glance all the way, but when I try to fire up anything
DOS-related (a DOS prompt or a DOS application), I promptly get thrown back
out into DOS with a 'paging error' message and the machine locks up
completely!

Windows applications seem to run fine, even several at the same time
(multitasked)...?

	What happens here? - Do I need to free even more memory?

	Suggestions anyone?

Misc. data:

	IBM PS/2 model 80-111 (20 MHz 386)
	4 Mbyte RAM
	Qemm 5.11
	Win 3.0

	Running with: 1.45 Mbyte RAM disk
	              1 Mbyte disk cache (tried several diff.)


	Thanx in advance!
