(not sure if this will appear above or below the original uploaded text.) Anyway – the cloaking features buy me back 62+K low RAM, so they're worth the trouble to get them working properly! Well, at least this one should be fun to figure out! I've just installed the new "Multimedia Cloacking" kit by Helix Software, the people that put out 'NetRoom'. I haven't found any problem with any other problem – except 3DS.EXE! It seems I can hide the disk cache, I can hide MSCDEx.Exe, (and obviously the cloak "API" driver) but if I try to hide the mouse, it's blitz city… I get nothing but a blank screen when I load the program. If I setup special "[Menu]", etc. stuff in the CONFIG.SYS, I can load the "Microsoft Mouse 10.0" drivers instead of cloaking drivers (which for some reason say they are "Logitech 6.4" equivalent, but report back v. '8.4' if you interrogate it – the 'cloaked' drivers, that is) – then everything is just fine. Go figure…
