For GP2: How do I set up MS Mouse to work in DOS

I've got Grand Prix 2 working OK in Windows 95 but would like to run it under DOS. (I understand performance is improved.) When I run under DOS I no longer can use my MS Mouse. It's nice to have the mouse available for making menu selections. What's the best way to set this up? I've just created a floppy boot diskette which works OK but doesn't load a mouse. Thanks....

When you go to Dos mode you have to put the mouse to work under Dos, before you enter the program. Try type "mouse" (assuming that's the mouse program you're using) before GP2

writes I'm not sure about WIN 95 but in WIN 3.11 you just add your mouse driver in you autoexec.bat file! The mouse driver should be a COM file and found in a directory called MOUSE or in your WINDOWS directory. -- Simon Cossar

I'm looking to get away from short % races and looking for races where you need alteast 2 pit stops. A Hawaii Online league is really what I'm looking for. Can anyone help me?

You'll find a bunch of online leagues if you follow the Series hyperlink in the message of the day when you sign on to Hawaii. You can also check out the Late Night website (which is a Hawaii series) and follow the links there to other series. Also, I think Alex's Hawaii Sportscenter has a bunch of links.

In one of the directory's on the GP2 cd there is a mouse driver called mouse.com. Just copy this file over to your hard drive in your windows directory and when you exit to dos just type mouse and it will load it up before you start the game. Homepage http://user.mc.net/n9ldx
