If the Microsoft Serial Mouse is connected to a mouse port in a PS/2
style machine, you may see a trail of red cursors inside the windows
of Desqview 386 when you use QEMM 5.0.

This is not a problem with the mouse. This problem occurs if you have
selected "serial" in the port selection for the mouse when you set up
Desqview. If you select "add-on board" for the mouse port selection in
the Desqview Setup program, the mouse cursor will display normally.
Note: This problem will not occur if the mouse is connected to the
serial port.
