How to get the mouse to work in Windows NT, XP, or Win2000?

CPC software runs in the Command window of Windows NT, XP, and Win2000. This Command window (often referred to as a DOS window) is, by default, setup with “QuickEdit Mode” selected. This prevents the mouse from selecting items in any DOS application screen. You will need to turn off QuickEdit Mode to get normal use of the mouse. If you find that you cannot use your mouse to select screen items, the fix is simple. Click on the upper left corner of the Command (DOS) window’s title bar and select Properties from the drop-down menu. Select the Options tab and find the QuickEdit Mode checkbox and uncheck it. Next click OK and you will be asked whether to Apply properties to current window only or Save properties for future windows with same title. Select Save properties for future windows with same title and click OK. You may have to exit the application and reenter it for the change to take effect, but the mouse should now work as you probably expect.
