I have my mouse speed set at 4 in my 3ds.set file, and since installing Win95, every time I start 3DS, the mouse always defaults back to 1 – which is too fast! The 3ds.set file still has the setting: MOUSE-SPEED = 4 If you know what could be the problem, please let me know. Ben

Hi Benjamin, <<.. every time I start 3DS, the mouse always defaults back to 1 – which is too fast!..>> Check to see if you have a 3ds.prj file. This prj file, if it exists will always get loaded upon startup and may override some of your settings. You can delete this file or modify your mouse settings and resave the 3ds.prj. jonas[adesk]

(that's not it!)… I have 'MOUSE-SPEED = 3' set in my 3ds.prj file – and no matter what I set that to, whenever I start 3DS, it resets itself back to 1. I start 3DS from inside my 3DS directory, with the 3ds.exe file. Thanks for your time, Ben

Ben: Mouse speed is set in the 3DS.SET file. – Bob Ritger

Bob, I know – I have mine set to 3 or 4, and now (since installing Win95), every time I start 3DS, the speed is reset to 1 for some unknown reason, so I have to manually reset it. I have set and reset it in my 3ds.set file, used a brand new 3ds.set file, and it still always uses 1. I was hoping someone might know technically why this is and how to fix. thanks Ben Jordan

Betcha what's happening is your Win mouse settings are getting invoked instead of your DOS mouse settings. Don't know how the fix was done (somebody else actually solved it) but a coworker had the same problem not long ago (under WfWG and DOS) and I thought this might provide a clue to your solution. SCL
