Hi,

	I'm just curious as to how prevalent the mouse problem is on this game.
I have Compaq Pentium-90 at home and an IBM 486DX4-100 at work that I
would like to play this game on. Both machines have "PS/2 type mouse". It's
one that plugs in to a circular connector or BUS-type mouse connector. The
mouse would be uncontrollable in my compaq at home whereas the machine
will freeze in my IBM 486DX4-100 at work. It's very frustrating.  I was
able to play with the game on other generic-clone Pentium-90s at work 
(on the network) that has SERIAL mice.

	It's annoying that it doesn't work on "supposedly" better, named
brand machine yet runs real well on generic clone machine. In fact, before
I upgraded to the Compaq P90, I have a clone 486DX2-66 and it worked very
well in that machine too. 

	I was WEB surfing this morning and I saw a FAQ on somebody's C&C WEB
page about problems with the PS/2 type mouse and that it wasn't fixed in
the 1.19 patch that WestWood has put out. I just sent email to support@
westwood.com but I doubt anything will come out of it. So, email me
if anybody has found a solution to this yet. 

	Thanks All!
