In other words, >is it a problem with the mouse driver or with the way Emacs uses it? Yes, it does. Emacs is the only program for which it does not work loaded high. Fortunately, loading it low doesn't seem to matter for other programs. >Do you use the file emacs.pif in the msdos directory of the Emacs >distribution? If not, try it.

Actually, I was running Emacs from the DOS box, not the .pif file. However, I did change my _dosprmt.pif settings to maximize DOS memory, etc; in fact, I did this quite some time ago. I just installed the .pif now, and it runs ok. And no, I am not using 32-bit file access in Win31 - I tried it a year or so ago and it completely crashed my computer - nothing would work. :) I'm pretty well convinced that the GPF was just a fluke - it hasn't happened again.
