Mouse driver trouble (again)

Binh,

I have seen your past postings, and have refrained from replying with
this because it seems so obvious. But you sound desperate, so just in
case you haven't considered this:

Is your mouse protocol what the driver expects? There are two main
protocols: Microsoft (2 button mouse) and Mouse Systems (typically for
a 3 button mouse). Some mice use a special handshake sequence to
select the protocol, which the supplied DOS or windows driver knows
about, but the vsta driver may not.

If you think this may be your problem, my suggestion is to find a
mouse with a 2/3 button select switch on the bottom and try it in both
positions. (sadly, this sort of mouse is getting harder to find...)
