CTMOUSE works. Microsoft Mouse Driver doesn't, and neither does Windows 2.11.
My serial ports are configured correctly. Jumpered 16-bit ISA multi IO board on a 286.
COM1 vs. COM2, doesn't matter. MS products don't work. CTMOUSE works fine every time.
MS Mouse driver will install, but the cursor won't move. Same thing with Windows: driver loads, cursor appears, won't move.
I have tried three different mice: a MS serial mouse and two Logitech serial mice. Once again with all mice, on either COM1 or COM2, CTMOUSE works fine, and all MS products load and detect the mouse but don't actually work.
If I run Windows, afterwards CTMOUSE fails to work properly, loading in Mouse Systems mode every time, which doesn't work, of course.
MSD reports the connected mouse correctly every time and reports normal COM1/COM2 ports and IRQs, just as I configured them.
What gives? And don't tell me to "just use CTMOUSE" or my head will explode. I am trying to use Windows here, and there is no way to use CTMOUSE with Windows. I tried the DOS MS Mouse driver just for troubleshooting purposes; I know it doesn't work with Windows either.
