I am using DosBox v0.72 and am trying to run Twilight 2000. It seems to be working fine except that it does not recognize my mouse. I tried to lock the mouse in the window using Ctrl-F10, but that still did not work.

I have a Dell Dimension 4600 running Windows XP-SP3. My mouse is a Microsoft Optical connected via a PS/2 connection. Is there a mouse driver that I need to install in DosBox? I did not see anything about that in the README and FAQs.

Any help would be appreciated.

try the cvs of DOSBox

if that doesn't work you are out of luck until we debug this game to see why it doesn't detect our mousedriver.
However I have good hopes for the CVS.

Tried the CVS for 01/25/2009 and it still didn't work. I also noticed that I am not getting sound/music for it as well as for 7 Cities of Gold.

I do have use of the mouse and sound for Auto Duel though.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Mouse and sound are working for me in 0.72; however, they both have to be configured in the game's setup before they will work. i.e. "MOUSE: YES" and "SOUND: CMS SOUND BLASTER IO:220 DMA:1 IRQ:7"

That did the trick. I just assumed that the install file was a remnant of actually installing the game. I forgot that some old DOS programs used INSTALL as way to setup the game.

Working fine now.

Thanks for the help.
