Mouse in DOS under Win2K

umm.. first of that isn't DOS it is a command prompt, there is a HUGE differnce. Second of all what DOS app are you running and is it Windows 2000 compatiable.

Basically what I am saying is that you are maybe trying to run a DOS based applicationon a machine that does not have a DOS kernel to understand what you are asking it to do.

I'm still wondering how you got it installed in the first place. Or did you just drop the files on a hard drive and change directories to them, nope.. that won't work.

Windows 3.1 = DOS
Windows 95 = DOS
Windows 98 = DOS
Windows NT = NT
Windows 2000 = NT

Firstly there are two programs which can be used with DOS programs CMD which is a 32 bit emulation of DOS - this is the better program. Secondly there is Command. Which ever one you are using if you go to the very top right of the 'box' and right click the little blue/ black icon with C init, then select properties. From the properties if you click on the Option tab there are some EDIT options, which may enable you to control the mouse edit functions.

Follow up. Create a short cut to your DOS program, then right click and properties, you should see a MISC tab, and there is a setting for the Mouse Exclusive, try it with and without the box checked.
