Hmmm... haven't seen that one before. XGS/32 will look in whatever directory 
the actual XGS32.exe file is located. If you have a shortcut that uses a 
different working directory, it may cause a problem. I will look into it 
though.

... Interesting. I am using standard Win32 API calls and message 
handling for mouse control instead of the funky DirectInput stuff again, so 
this shouldn't be a problem. Are you *sure* you are pressing F6 to enable the 
mouse? :)
