I think you must run install.exe and then choose the mouse.
Try running the game in dosbox if that doesn't work.

To get your mouse back press CTRL+F10. when you start the game.

I was having the same problem and stumbled across the solution in the Dosbox instructions in the keystroke section. I was so thrilled to be able to play the game!

My complements to the site. It's wonderful to see so many old friends, er games. Very helpful and informative, too. You're doing a great job.

Well, what I did was on the setup for the game I disabled the sound effects and the music. I don't know why it works but it does.

Yeah for me, I'll be playing the game for awhile with the keyboard and all of a sudden the mouse will start to work again, maybe it's one of the options in-game that modifies it.

ok, i just finally won at the dart game, so it is possible to any of you people pulling your hair out. if you get fed up and want the saved game for beating it let me know, but i suggest you do it yourself it sure feels great!!

I know what you mean man, that dart game was really hard stuff, I was really frustrated with the last guy took me at least 8-9 times to beat him, finally.

Once you get the hang of it, it's not that hard anymore, but indeed it takes time
At least you knew what to do, unlike some of the other puzzles in the game. The worst thing is when you think you've visited everything and everyone, and still nothing new pops up.

i actually found that the game would kinda bug out if i went outta sequence. like in th billiards hall, i had to revert to a saved game a few times, cause i'd talk to the wrong guy first, and i couldn't get any farther, this may be another d-fend bug..
the thing about the darts that irked me was that the last two guys always hit their last two shots, and it always added up, they maybe busted 10% of the time, friking losers must play darts all bloody day long for crying out loud.

Yeah now that you mention it, I think I remember something like that happening, was a little odd, but I did get past it.

If I make a mistake and already saved is there any way to change it? I talk to Mrs. W at the opera but she is shooshing me to wait until the show is over. And I have not seen the fat lady to end it all. The show just goes on and on......and on! What can I do?
