Mouse driver says "Mouse reset returned <hex> (should be ack)" about ao486_mister HOT 8 OPEN

Same issue here. I've seen 0 and 18 so far. Doing a warm reset with the key0 menu seemed to help

from ao486_mister.

I had the same problem.

Only had this issue when using EMM386.

As a workaround you can change the order of loading the Mouse driver and it should work.

I guess it just fell on a different position in memory and worked fine.

I was getting this too, but the hex byte returned was pretty consistent. I was trying to install Windows 3.1 in custom mode and it would say this:

FATAL: Mouse reset returned 28 (should be ack)

Every time I tried using it, it would do this.

Using DOS 6.22. I am not using EMM386, but I was loading HIMEM at boot time along with SB 2.0 drivers.

try other mouse driver.
I use mouse too, but have no such problem.

CuteMouse v1.9.1 [DOS]

I was not using a mouse driver at all — perhaps that's why the error was coming up. Once I installed the CuteMouse driver, it stopped. I've also noticed a similar (possibly unrelated) error popping up with Windows 95 - if the mouse is moved before Windows fully starts, it throws a protection error that requires the machine be rebooted.

It's known unrelated issue. Either mouse moved or key is pressed in some booting stage leads to exception.
