6272 2000-09-09 11:37:00 I have just reformatted the kids old 486DX2-50 PC to clear out the junk. I have partitioned it into 5 partitions (in order to maximise space on a 2.1GB hard drive with FAT16) and installed Windows 95 version 1 on the C drive and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 on the E drive. Everything works fine EXCEPT the DOS game Math Blaster by Davidson (installed on the D drive).

The game has been set to run in DOS from a shortcut on the Win95 desktop - the current MSDOS configuration is used and Windows is closed on exit.

The problem is that the mouse won't load, nor do I get any sound. There is also a warning that there is insufficient memory to run properly (hence no sound??). The game worked fine before reformatting although when first installed 3 years ago I had to run Memmaker and 'Load High' different things to get enough memory.

Because I clean installed Win95 my mouse drivers are Windows Only so I tried copying a backup of the 'Mouse\MMouse.com' (DOS driver?) folder into both the C and E directories without any success. Would this folder need 'installing' to work?

I have tried using a boot disk with the MMouse.com file on it but that doesn't work either.

I really would like this program to work and feel that the key is in the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files but don't know what should be in them to make the mouse work. Can anyone please help??
