Rob Freyder Subject: OFT 3.01/3.01.1 Lockups Solved ! Greetings, I posted awhile back concerning the lockups some of us were experiencing with OFT. I mentioned then that disabling the Logitech BUS mouse driver solved the problem but was an unacceptable solution for obvious reasons. I saw another post regarding the game port on the SoundBlaster and its questionable integrity. Determined to solved the problem I disabled the port on the SB and bought a replacement game card. This didnt help the problem but the other port seems to work better. The next step was to try various version of the Log mouse driver. V6.00 gave longest time between lockups, but still froze at strange times. Even froze in autopilot mode ! Next thing was to bag the bus mouse and get a Log. serial mouse. BINGO ! Now the opening screen plays without a hitch and no more lockups ! YESss! I have tried several other fixes (one at a time) and none had any affect, so I have concluded that the Log. bus mouse driver is conflicting somehow with another device. I had it installed on IRQ5 BTW. I did not try relocating it since I really didnt have any place else to put it. Current Config: 486/33 20MB RAM 640 MB ESDI disks w/WD1007-SE2 contrllr.
