My computer is strange.  Ever since I installed my GENOA (Do not buy from this
crappy company) 8800 I have had the mouse on drugs problem.  The only way for 
me to solve this is by checking the "Uses high memory area" check box in all
the pifs of the dos boxes I run.  Now my question  is: can I make the "uses 
high memory area" option globally the default so that if I start up a dos 
program that does not have a pif I will not see the infuriating mouse bug.
In other words I am looking for a win.ini or system.ini setting that will
solve this problem.

Thanks a ton in advance.
