As the topic title says i can't get my mouse to work in MS-DOS, why i don't know but not long ago my restore CD for the computer broke as well so i had to you an old crappy Windows 98 second edition CD to reinstall.
So i had to get all my drivers again i don't think i got the mouse one because i don't know who made the mouse so all i am after is a mouse driver that will work with any windows mouse and work well in MS-DOS. |

I'm not sure that DOS supports mouse, also remmember that I used mouse only under Norton Commander.

MS-DOS needs a mouse driver to detect your mouse. I sent the driver to kosta hoping he puts it on the driver page. Anyways, http://www.oldfiles.org.uk/powerload...ad/mouse82.exe and open the file. Take mouse.com, put it in your windows folder. Now (I am not sure if 98 has it, anyway) open up autoexec with a text editor, or edit.exe and direct a path to the driver. (ie
c:\windows\mouse.com) I am not sure if it detects usb but it does detect com and ps/2 |
