What you need to do is find a generic dos mouse driver and it should add the Mouse command in your Autoexect.bat file. and it will load automatically but first type in Mouse from the dos prompt to see if you have a driver installed. Hope that helps ya out. to get sound to work What kind of sound card do you have in your PIII computer.

You need DOS drivers for your soundcard to make it work properly.

Also depending on what kind of sound card you have in there. Your driver cd that came with the card might have dos drivers all ready with it.

After running a lot /?, got to play some games in real dos with mouse. The performance is far better than in DosBox, running real smooth. But i only get sound from games with an "setup.bat" or "setsound.bat" archive to set the game to the soundboard. In the moment thats not a problem, but i don't have a mixer for DOS. I can even hear an eletric "zzz", cause everything is out loud. Since my speakers don't have volume control and those old soundboards play freakly loud, this is a problem.
