you may want to ensure that your dos mousedriver is loaded in memory, this can be
done by shelling to a Dos prompt from within windows and typeing:
mem /c
and look for the mousedriver there.
You should also have mouse activity if you go to full screen in your Dos shell and
type:
edit
Hope this helps
