That's right. I have an original Microsoft Mouse disk and there are both files on it: - mouse.com - mouse.drv And it also contains a mouse.sys file.

I'm happy to announce, that the problem is solved! K1n9_Duk3 , thank you for recommending MemMaker. Yes, I didn't use it when installed MS-DOS. When I read Davros 's comment, I remembered that before the fresh MS-DOS installation, EMM386.exe was loaded. So, I put it in the config.sys file and the …

but it just doesn't feel quite "complete" Sometimes I feel the same. but I immediately gravitated to that on your pics, badmojo Me, too. :) By the way, talking about system requirements, the oldest software I have is MS-DOS 3.21. Unfortunately, the box isn't in a nice condition. But the disks and …

Moved to Marvin -> Software. I'm sorry I didn't post it in the wrong place on purpose. Thank you very much for removing it! What memory manager are you using? Try with EMS, XMS, and just conventional. Phil's MS-DOS starter pack is preconfigured for all three if you want to make it easier: http:// …

If using old hardware ask in Marvin. http://www.vogons.org/viewforum.php?f=60 Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't notice this isn't the proper place for this question. :roll: Thank you for the link! So the error message appeared after re-installing DOS? Yes, I remember, last year the game was OK on both …

Hello All! I don't know why, but I get this error message when I try to launch Defender Of The Crown: "Sorry, the DOS memory required by the game is not free." I tried on my 386 and 486 machine, the result is the same on both. Both have a freshly installed MS-DOS 6.22 on it. Funny things are: 1. …

Wow, what an excellent condition! Really nice!

Thank you for your additional help!

I'm sorry for the late reply! Thank you very much for all the helpful comments! The problem was with the mouse itself. Not so long ago I bought another serial mouse (the seller said it was tested and worked fine) and it works fine with my machine, too. ****** (I'm also sorry for placing this topic …

I know it's a very old topic, but the other day I had the same problem ("Error: High Memory Area in use" message when trying to launch Windows 2.11/386 under MS-DOS 6.22) and today I found the solution. 1. In the config.sys change DOS=HIGH to DOS=LOW 2. Make sure the setver.exe is loaded, because …

Yeh serial mouse is pretty basic stuff. I'd try any other PC with a serial port. Even XP (and I'm betting later) still supports them. I would ditch the converter though. If you have a PS2 port use a PS2 mouse, so much nicer options plus 1 less thing to go wrong. Most of us are trying to find ways …

Hello Sammy! It has 2 serial ports. Next week I'll be at the place, where I store my old PCs. So I'll look into the BIOS. The mouse is very simple. no buttons on the side. 😀 Thank you for your suggestions!

Jesolo, Jepael, thank you very much for the answer! I got the serial mouse from a friend, who used that about 15 years ago and back then it was OK, but now we weren't able to check it for 100% sure. I give a try for that mouse driver. I searched a photo on the net about that adapter: http://www. …

Hello All! I'd like to use a serial mouse in my 286 machine, but it seems to be a more difficult task than I thought. :neutral: I always receive this message: https://s31.postimg.org/aoi745nh7/002.jpg I tried the same mouse in my 386 and 486 machine as well, the message is the same. I attached a PS …
