Have you tried limiting the DOS Timer frequency in Launchpad?

As in 'cap DOS timer frequency'? Yep, one of the first things I tried, no luck.

That's weird. I tried Detroit recently on my W2K system and I don't recall having this problem. Is this a PS/2 or USB mouse?

It's a PS2 mouse. Could you reinstall Detroit, and check what happens when you click on, say, a +/- button to increase or decrease a value? On my system, it will increase/decrease at an incredibly fast speed. That also happens for any kind of toggle, so it's very hard to stop on a certain option.

Yes, those do go up and down rather quickly, but you can use the RMB to make it go in lesser increments, if memory serves. As far as toggles are concerned, that's just weird.

I'll check it out if I've got time later tonight. No promises, though. I've got a terrible cold.

Am in in your will?

Apparently memory doesn't serve 😀 You can't use the right mouse button to go up in lesser increments, at least not on MY version of Detroit anyway (came in a 'SierraOriginals' package). The RMB simply exits out of the current screen. Sometimes, it's the only way to do so.

Hm. MMB?
Have you tried the circulated Abandonware version?

Heh 😀 The middle mouse button, of course, isn't supported by Detroit, as they weren't around when it was invented 😀 I've just downloaded the abandonware version, and it's identical to my version. Still the ridiculously fast clicks. Sigh.

Yes they were! There just wasn't a scroller on it. IIRC, even the first mouse (the 1960s demonstration) had a third button on it.
