*sigh*
Firstly, this is a VDMSound issue, not a general DOS game issue. This should have been posted to the VDMSound 'General' forum, not The Guide > DOS.
ok, and the mouseset files go in the same directory as the game i want to run, right?
It doesn't matter. If they aren't in the same directory as the batch file, you need to use the fully-qualified URI.
oh and btw, i don't know how to create a batch file, so I just took one I already had, and replaced the text it had in it with "mouseset 640 480 WAR2.EXE" is that ok to do, or do i have to create a new batch file?
...*cough*
batch files are just things that run commands, as if you were typing them at the command prompt.
and could i just add "mouseset 640 480 WAR2.EXE" to autoexec.bat instead? would that work too?
No. First of all, there is no AUTOEXEC.BAT in Windows NT/2K/XP. Secondly, if there WAS, and you put that in there, it would run every time you started your computer. Rather, it would attempt to run it, but unless mouseset and war2 were in a directory specified in the PATH environment variable it would fail.
my mouse is still stuck on te left 2/3 of the screen. Sorry, I said my mouse was in the upper left. actually its been stuck in the left side of the screen. it can go all the way up and down. I tried changing mouseset to 800 600 too, but the game still runs exactly the same. the game (its warcraft 2, by the way) says in the readme:
MOUSESET will not fix that problem. There is a reason the readme says 'upper left' as well.
Just get the Battle.net edition.
