Hi Guys,
I thought I would report this issue, since it hits me a bit odd...
I have used DOSBox 0.65 with PCPAINT 3.0 and it has worked very well. PCPAINT 3.0 is a relatively tame DOS application and when you mount the directory and start the program, the mouse has always been detected. Thus, simply click in the window, and go to work.
However, not so with DosBox 0.70. For some odd reason, this new version of DOSBox refuses to understand a mouse is required. Even with a manual capture command via CTRL+F10, no support is offered.
As a work around, I have found that if I load a old MOUSE DRIVER into DOSBox (MSCMOUSE.COM), then start PCPAINT 3.0, the mouse is working.
So, in essense this is a step back in support from previous versions as mouse support was automatic.
I have duplicated this problem on three machines running different OSs (Win XP, & Win98). How do I forward this report to the developers, or is this post sufficient?
Is it possible there is just something that needs to be configured a little differently? I am running DOSBox with all default settings.
WELL FYI
Kind Regards,
Mic
