I use DESQview 2.01 with a Logitech Serial Mouse with or without the
mouse driver without problem, but I have run into problems using the
mouse without the driver with programs that need the mouse driver.  The
problem is that if DESQview is configured to use the mouse without the
driver, then the driver is loaded in order to use some other program that
needs the driver (ALA Mahjongg Game), then DESQview loses the use of the
mouse after that even if the window with the driver is closed.  I have found
that I don't use the mouse with DESQview (keyboard interface is faster for
me) but use of the mouse.sys driver allows both DESQview and other programs
to use the mouse fine.
