Now that i got my sound card issue squared away, my video won't display the game as well as the cinematic portions. In addition, my computer will still not recognize my mouse despite the fact that the line below has been written in the autoexec.bat line. Any suggetions?

LH C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT HARDWARE\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE

Privateer 2(Dos version)
My system specs:

233 mmx pentium
sound blaster 16 awe 64
voodoo3 2000 with latest video drivers
24x cd-rom
microsoft intellipoint serial mouse with wheel
144 MB Ram
windows '98 s.e.
 
Everyone, say the mantra: "We are not Unix."

After me, now:

"We are not Unix."

And, because this isn't Unix, there can be no spaces in file names, and no file name can exceed the 8.3 length. SW is correct; spaces in DOS mean that what follows are command-line arguments.

So, how do we fix this?

One way is to copy the file to another location as SW suggests. The second (and, in my view, better) way is to replace that line with the following:

LH C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE

One small problem: you might have more than one directory in Program Files starting with MICROS, so if this doesn't work, increment the number after the tilde (~) until it works (e.g. MICROS~2, MICROS~3, etc.).

As for the video problems, could you explain the nature of the problem?
