Can't get a USB or a wireless mouse to operate in Doom II. Anybody had this
problem with XP? Game seems to work ok - just the mouse is inoperative. No
problem in WinMe...
Thanks.

Heard of this problem before. Not sure there's a way around it. Just use a
source port like jDoom or Legacy unless you really want to use the dos
version for some reason.

The reason is that it accesses the mouse through a VXD file, which
Windows XP does not support. So its either no mouse or another version
or the engine, as suggested above.

I recently bought the Doom Collecors Edition and found the mouse inoperative
under WinXp.
I downloaded & installed jDoom (freeware) and now it all works perfectly.
