August 31, 200520 yr Windows 3.1 should have its own mouse driver, which theoretically should pick up most PS/2 mice.But in reality, intellimice are newer gen laser mice, and may not be 100% compatible with 16-bit environments/OSes such as Win3.1.And the worst part is [as we all know] MS does not provide 16-bit Windows drivers for newer hardware.Try [if not already] a few DOS based mouse drivers:http://www.mdgx.com/drv.htm#MOUthey might just work.Also, this server:http://www.mpoli.fi/files/hardware/MOUSE/has a plethora of mouse drivers, some even for Win3.1.Hope this helps.
