Comment:
Well, I have temporarily abandoned my Pentium 166 Warp 3 installation as I think my CPU is kaput... so I am now soldiering on with a 486 installation that was made some time ago on an Olivetti PCS 42P. I am trying to get the "Scheme Palette" to work. When opened, "Blush" is selected. I cannot select any other scheme by using the mouse, however I can select them by using the arrow keys. I can double clock on ANY scheme to edit it, however the mouse can not select the icons and most importantly I cannot use the left button to drag the schemes to the desktop (whether I press Alt or not). The mouse cannot interact with the Scheme Pallette except to edit. If I select a scheme with the cursor arrow keys then press Enter, it opens the edit function. The book is not much help, it just says click with mouse button 2 and drag the scheme to the desktop. But... drag is disabled, as is select. I've probably done something really simple, stupid, and obvious, but... I can't think what it is. Help!!!

Tommy.

OOPS! Error in text above... I was in fact dragging while holding the RIGHT mouse button not the left as stated above. Neither button seems to select or drag anyway...

It's a Joe's Discount 2-button serial mouse. There is a PS/2 mouse socket but it doesn't work!
