I'm having trouble with Windows 3.11. While running in Windowed mode in DosBox, the mouse pointer has problems moving to the edges of the screen. The amount it moves varies, and I'm not sure why it happens or what is causing it or why sometimes it will scroll farther than other times. Basically, when I move the mouse pointer towards the top or bottom edges, the pointer will stop scrolling and switch the XP pointer instead. Changing to full screen mode makes it scroll normally. I didn't see anything on the site talking about this problem. Anyone else have this problem and is there any way to have the mouse pointer properly move in Windowed mode while in Windows?

your Dosbox.conf must have been changed in the [sdl] section, set autolock=false to true.
To switch from Dosbox to xp, you then have to press ctrl+f10.
