Hi,
I just installed DosBox 0.73 on a 2 GHz, 500 MB RAM, Windows XP/sp3 computer, and tried to run Windows 3.10 from a folder containing an old installation of Win3.10 as copied from the hard disk. All the DOS programs there worked fine, fully functional, but when I tried to run Win3.10 and programs and games that require Win3.10, they all work with the exception of the mouse - I just couldn't make this mouse work under Windows 3.10. It didn't want to lock, and when I locked it with <Ctrl>F10, it just dissappeared. I followed the Win3.10 setup suggestions and it starts OK from the Win.bat file, without any error messages about missing swap file or missing C: drive, etc., but the mouse just doesn't want to work at all. It works fine under DOS, but not when I start Windows 3.10. I couldn't find the answer in the FAQ section, that's why I had to write this message asking for help. Do I need to install Win3.10 from DosBox? - actually, I don't have the installation package of Win3.10, and would appreciate any suggestions about where to find it from, if I really need it.
Thanks a lot,
Nick
