My mouse won't work in MS-DOS mode and thus it won't work when I play civ

[TopAlwaysDown]

Hi,

I am running Win 98 SE on a Pentium II box. On the bottom of the mouse, it says it is a "Wheel Mouse Optical USB and PS/2 Compatible". It works just fine when I use it in Windows. But Civ doesn't work well in Windows. It runs slow, and 9 out of 10 times when I try to start the game, I get a "Runtime Error, can't divide by 0".

Civ runs great when I exit Windows and run it in DOS, but then I lose my mouse.

Anyone know how I get the mouse driver to load in an MS DOS environment and get it to stay there?

I'm home and sick, and all i want to do is sit here and veg out while I play Civ until I can fall asleep!

Thanks,

Steve

If it doesn't work I do have the old but mythic mouse.com I still use on my DOS machine under VMWare (yes speed ball 2 will work under dos or amiga emulator only)
I guess you are at ease with dos command and config.sys.

Hi,

I know the basics of DOS, but I've forgotten about config.sys. I guess I should say I knew (past tense) the basics of DOS.

Oh, and that downseek link won't get me to the download.

I'm a quick student if you'd like to give it a go?

Thanks,

Steve

Got it to work. You got me thinking along the right lines, though. Thanks!
