Hello
In Windows 3.1 the Microsoft's serial mouse 2.0 behaves normally.
But in Street Rod 2 dos6.22 mouse cursor starts to move by itself to southeast SE.
I can move the cursor with the mouse but somehow it constantly tries to drag the cursor to SE.

Thanks

I think the SR2 worked fine previously but when I did a fresh install of DOS6.22 and Win3.1 on a new CF-card=HDD Street rod 2 started doing this.

I'll see but has this happened to anyone else ?

Hi, you can try different mice drivers if you like. MS Mouse version 9.xx (DOS+WIN) fixed some issues and caused lower CPU load.
For maximum compatibility (80s software), you can try MS Mouse version 6.24BZ (DOS) from ~87/88 or so.

Edit: See Moving Mouse dramatically slows down CPU and 8BIT ISA SERIAL I/O TO PS2 MOUSE 😀 .
