Have you checked the vpix_config file to make shure that the 
mouse	/dev/mouse line is present?

Go ahead and just after the upgrade process, but before any kind of reboot
use the "setver" command and make the effective version for redir.exe
a legal older value.   Frome then on if you load the version table from
config sys (something that the install program does for you by default)
it will lie to redir.exe and things should be fine (er, ah, at least the
bomb shoudl go off later  8-)
