Game Forum / Action Games / Doom / December 2005Mouse problem in Doom II - XP conflict?
Can't get a USB or a wireless mouse to operate in Doom II. Anybody had this problem with XP? Game seems to work ok - just the mouse is inoperative. No problem in WinMe... Thanks. > Can't get a USB or a wireless mouse to operate in Doom II. Anybody had this > problem with XP? Game seems to work ok - just the mouse is inoperative. No > problem in WinMe... > Thanks. Heard of this problem before. Not sure there's a way around it. Just use a source port like jDoom or Legacy unless you really want to use the dos version for some reason. >Can't get a USB or a wireless mouse to operate in Doom II. Anybody had this >problem with XP? You need to use either the Dos version, or one of the source ports. Source ports for Doom: http://www.doomworld.com/classicdoom/ports/ Noticable ones are prBoom (compatability), ZDoom (versatility), and JDoom (improved rendering). Other options are available, but aren't as popular. > Can't get a USB or a wireless mouse to operate in Doom II. Anybody had this > problem with XP?

So its either no mouse or another version or the engine, as suggested above. I recently bought the Doom Collecors Edition and found the mouse inoperative under WinXp. I downloaded & installed jDoom (freeware) and now it all works perfectly. > Can't get a USB or a wireless mouse to operate in Doom II. Anybody had this > problem with XP?
