I still don't know what the reason for this problem is.

- did you load a mouse driver?

- I forgot to add cwsdpmi.exe into the flwriter directory but if that would miss in your case the progam would not start at all

- can you start flwriter with the "redir" program from djgpp\bin please?
"redir -e err.log -o out.log flwriter" This way you can see any error messages send to STDERR in the err.log file.

- there is a nano-X environment variable which allows to reduce the colors to 16 bit if your graphics card or emulation requires it:
e.g. "set nanoscr=800 600 565"
