My demos in Windows XP...

MystikShadows, thanks again for your reply!

If DirectQB is not the culprit of my fourth demo then maybe that old asm mouse program is it:

DECLARE SUB Delay (Time AS SINGLE)
DECLARE FUNCTION MouseButtons% ()
DECLARE FUNCTION MouseChoice% ()
DECLARE SUB MouseHide ()
DECLARE SUB MouseInit ()
DECLARE FUNCTION MouseSlct% (x AS INTEGER, y AS INTEGER, xchoice AS INTEGER, ychoice AS INTEGER, interval AS INTEGER)
DECLARE SUB MouseShow ()
DECLARE FUNCTION MousePX% ()
DECLARE FUNCTION MousePY% ()

DIM SHARED A(34) AS INTEGER
DIM SHARED mx%, my%

Please try it and give me some feedback,

I also put the link of my fourth and last demo here just in case you want to test it:

Thanks in advance,

P.S. I'm tired now so I'll see you tomorrow...
