258541 2004-08-05 12:45:00 I need to operate a USB mouse in Dos. The serial & PS2 ports are damaged in this old computer (AMDK6/2), but it works well with a USB Mouse. I use Dos to make my Ghost Images & it is a pain without a mouse.

Are there any USB/Dos Mouse drivers out there?
The Mouse is Microsoft wheel optical USB.

258543 2004-08-06 14:13:00 I tried the USB drivers, but by the time that the program (Ghost) is loaded it runs out of memory. Have tried Himem.sys etc but no good.
Back to the drawing board :)

If you use "real" DOS, run memmake to configure WEMM386 to provide extended memory.

Ok using the keyboard but a bit of a pain!
