[Coco] Hires mouse emulation in VCC

[Bob Devries]

Actually, it was me who can't run MESS on his laptop.

I checked the settings you mentioned, Robert, but there's no difference.

When I start the emulation, I lose my mouse pointer altogether, and MESS 
does not respond to *any* Function-keys at all. The only way to quit the 
emulations is the three finger slaute (CTRL-ALT-DEL).

This laptop is an Acer Aspire 5315. It has an Intel Celeron 550 processor @ 
2GHz and 1GB memory, running WinXP SP2.
