So, I've been trying to get SSI's Fantasy General to work under Windows 2000 for some time now, with little success. I've managed to get it working with VDMSound so that the sounds actually work, but because of the mouse problem, I can't get past the initial menu screen. It's the infamous 'stuck in the upper left corner' symptom. MOUSECTL helped a bit; I could move the mouse a bit further, but it was always pulled back to the corner. Fantasy General crashes when ran through MOUSE2KV, which in turn is run through VDMSound. The output for the error is below, I hope someone could tell what I'm doing wrong.
The options for Mouse2KV are 640 480 8 8.
