i have just switched from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 and seem to have lost all my mouse controls in the DOS programs. This is especially aggrevating in the impact program where i cant "x" the "all files" box in the download screen. going nuts since all my queries use both msac and impact tables.

The way around this in Win2000 is to open the DOS program in a window.

They do an ALT+ENTER. This makes the window fullscreen.

Your mouse should work here.

That worked for me too back when I first had problems with mouse and Win2000. On the Impact screen usually though I just tab and then hit enter to select all files.
