I think a plain BATCH file will be easier. Just put a line with MOUSE2KV before the command that launches the game.

In the regular Panzer VDMSound Shortcut go to "advanced", and find the "AUTOEXEC" section. There put the entire "mouse2k..." line, and t will get started before Panzer does.

Or do as in the other suggestion, create a .bat file that invokes mouse2k followed by Panzer, and "Run with VDMS" the .bat file.

Thanks a bunch. I'm assuming then that the mouse2kv.exe should be in the Panzer General root directory?

Can be anywhere; dump it in the VDMSound directory, this way you can invoke it from any other directory and it will be found (VDMSound's dir is in the PATH.)

I have another strange problem... I'm trying to delete MOUSE2KV.exe from my Panzer General folder. I keep getting the message that some other program is using it, but I'm not running anything with it. Any idea what is going on?

Ok, I put this line in the Autoexec.bat box:

C:\Program Files\Miscellaneous Tools\VDMSound\MOUSEK2V.EXE 640 480 16 16 D:\Games\Panzer General\EXEP\PANZER.EXE

The game starts, but it doesn't have any effect on mouse movement. I also tried:

C:\Progra~1\Miscel~1\VDMSound\MOUSEK2V.EXE 640 480 16 16 D:\Games\Panzer~3\EXEP\PANZER.EXE

and:

C:\Progra~1\Miscel~1\VDMSound\MOUSEK2V.EXE 640 480 16 16 PANZER.EXE

I also tried entering different numbers for the mouse speed, such as the recommended 8 8, and 12 12. There doesn't appear to be any difference in the mouse movement no matter what I do.

My fault, I completely forgot how MOUSE2K worked.

OK,just make a MYPANZER.BAT file that reads (one line):

1C:\Progra~1\Miscel~1\VDMSound\MOUSEK2V.EXE 640 480 16 16 D:\Games\Panzer~3\EXEP\PANZER.EXE

...then "Run with VDMS" this MYPANZER.BAT, with all the default settings (i.e. no messing with parameters/arguments or AUTOEXEC.BAT, no need to).

If the game starts but the mouse is still broken then MOUSE2K loade dbut doesn't work for this game. I hope it does, though.

Cheers,
V.

I get this error:

D:\GAMES\PANZER~3\EXE>C:\Progra~1\Miscel~1\VDMSound\MOUSEK2V.EXE 640 480 16 16 D:\Games\Panzer~3\EXE\PANZER.EXE
Bad command or file name

you do have mouse2kv installed at C:\Progra~1\Miscel~1\VDMSound I presume

yeppers, I most certainly do...

..as in, "dir C:\Progra~1\Miscel~1\VDMSound\MOUSEK2V.EXE" lists it? 😀

*whacks self in head with nearest squishy object*

Thanks, figured it out. That damn dyslexia again... Works like a charm now... 😀

Dyslexia, ROFLMAO!!! 😁
