First off, new person here. I have been using DOSbox for retrogaming for a while, but recently decided to use Windows 3.11 as a in-box frontend for them. And it works AMAZING, but some games while they run great in DOS-mode, they do not load in Window mode for some reason. Case in point, the game DOOM has a problem with my mouse, and halts during loading in Windows. It runs just fine in DOS mode. I will try to find more drivers for it but....yeah.

Overall Win3.11 works great as a frontend though.

Windows 3.11 was notoriously incompatible with DOS games. If you check the DOOM documentation, it will probably tell you explicitly to exit Windows 3.11 before launching DOOM. This is by no means a DOSBox problem.

Also, please use more descriptive subject lines in the future.

Also later versions of Doom fixed some of the windows 3.1 compatibility issues (Though I never played Doom with a mouse)
