That's a bad way of starting your quest for help.  Most people here think 
that CWSDPMI is a fine piece of software.

There are an alternative DPMI server called PMODE/DJ, you can get it from 
the same directory on SimTel where you got csdpmi4b.zip.  But I doubt if 
your problems will go away, see below.

This usually means your mouse handler has bugs which simply go unnoticed 
under Windows.  Windows doesn't support several features that allow to 
catch programmatic errors like dereference of NULL pointers, failure to 
lock memory in mouse callbacks, etc.  Instead of blaiming CWSDPMI, I 
suggest to use it to find and correct those bugs.

If you cannot figure out the problems you have under CWSDPMI, post the 
relevant information here, and someone will help you.

Also see section 18.8 of the DJGPP FAQ list for some advice and example 
code that installs a mouse handler.
