If The Mouse Does Not Work -------------------------- This game is a DOS based game, as such the mouse driver must be loaded for the game to use it. Check the documentation on the mouse for your system for specific instructions on loading the mouse driver. This is usually as simple as adding one line to the autoexec.bat or config.sys file. If your have MS-DOS 6.0, just type in help at the C: prompt and search for mouse to find a example. Here is how to approach the problem: You can load the driver in the c:\config.sys file or the c:\autoexec.bat file Step 1) Find the mouse driver file. Use the File - Search feature in the File Manager to find mouse.sys or mouse.com ( be sure to start from C:\ for the search ) Step 2) Based on if you find mouse.com or mouse.sys do 1 of the following: (not do both) If you find mouse.sys then add this line to the c:\config.sys file (include the path to the file) So if you find the mouse.sys file in C:\Windows then the entree looks like this: DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\MOUSE.SYS If you find mouse.com in C:\WINDOWS then add these 2 lines ( including the path ) to the c:\autoexec.bat file SET MOUSE=C:\WINDOWS\MOUSE.COM C:\WINDOWS\MOUSE.COM Now after rebooting, the mouse should function in the games
