Your mouse driver stinks.  It needs a bunch of memory (Apparently >30K)
when it initializees, then it gets rid of all but 17K of it.  I have a
similar problem -- A tiny keybuffer program won't load high (<1K
resident, >8K umb space left)...

You would probably do well to try QEMMor a similar program (Try The Last
Byte. (Do an archie for ^tlb.*zip$ and you'll get more references than
you need, look on Simtel.)) -- It can probably find more and bigger UMB
areas for you..
