Help!  I have a 33mhz 486, with dos 5.0 and windows 3.1.  While windows
recognizes my mouse (though it doesn't move at all smoothly, but one problem
at a time) no dos based applications (running under windows, or independently)
seems to recognize my mouse. Examples include wordperfect 5.1, edit (the dos
command), quicklinkII (a communications app).

Since this may have something to do with ports... actually I am only guessing
I will further add that I have the following installed a modem, 1 hd, 5.25 &
3.25 drives and a microsoft mouse (using mouse.com).

Any help would be very appreciated, but please respond by mail as this is
probably only of interest to me. THANKS!
