   I hope that this is the appropriate group to ask.

   I have a Packard Bell 386SX with a MS compatible mouse.  I keep 
HIMEM, CMDEDIT, and NO MOUSE DRIVER in memory. (I load it later if 
I need it).  Also I use MS-DOS 4.01 and MS Win. 3.0.

The problem:

   type win /r - windows comes up in real mode - works fine

   type win /s - windows comes up in standard mode - works fine

   type win    - windows comes up in enhanced mode and works fine sometimes...

but most of the time my mouse doen't work. ie Hourglass goes flying all 
over the place and windows open and close when I move the mouse around.
ANybody else have this problem.

Is it possible that HIMEM or CMDEDIT is hammering my mouse driver
( intermittently )?

PS Mouse driver version 7.04. (but I don't think it makes any difference
to windows whether I load this or not.)

Note everything in windows works fine using the keyboard even when
the mouse is screwed up...

reply to cacummin@descartes with suggestions.
