I wrote a program that uses GUI routines from Allegro library and
mouse is used only by these functions. On my MS-DOS machine at home
everything works nicely, but when i started the prog on several
Win NT 4.0 computers (logged as a guest) in MS-DOS full screen window
mouse started to act dumb:
coursor is displayed on the middle of the screen as it should be,
but when i try to move it, it jumps somwhere in the up left corner
and it can be moved only inside some small rectangle.
Anything else works fine.

I tested the return value of mouse_install but it doesn't return -1

What could be wrong and how can i fix it?
Many thanks.
