Ken,
 Did you copy your mouse driver into the windows directory. Also, if you run in 
 1024x768 resolution, the screen driver may not support using the mouse in a
window.  Try the 800x600 driver that comes with windows, and make sure that 
you have windows install the mouse driver in the windows directory.
