I was having trouble with my Logitech mouse and logimenu (version 4) after
I got DOS 5.0. I got my hands on the new mouse driver (version 6) after
I was told that was what my trouble was. It hasn't helped. The problem is:
When I load the mouse driver (v6) and logimenu, then go into dosshell and
start an application, I get a message saying that the mouse driver
needs to be loaded. If I then load the mouse driver, it says it
*already* is loaded. Arrrrrg!
I tried not loading mouse and logimenu before going into dosshell.
Of course this was annoying because I didn't have a mouse pointer.
In this scenerio when I load the mouse driver from within the shell
I get the nice message:
MS-DOS Task Switchers' POP-UP program support
Your pop-up program has been loaded and you may activate it as you
would normally. When you have finished using this pop-up program,
exit and press ctrl-C to return to shell.
At this point the only thing I can do is press ctrl-C, and then the
mouse driver is no longer loaded.
Everything works just fine if I am not trying to launch the application
from within dosshell.
I am wondering if there is an incompatibility between mouse driver v6 and
logimenu v4. Anyone else had this problem or can advise me what I need
to do?
Thanks,
