By the way, does anybody know where can I buy Doom Collector's Edition
CD-ROM in Moscow, Russia?

This is known problem. Doom 95 (and Doom Collector's Edition, which is
actually a collection of several episodes of Doom 95) uses VxD driver for
mouse (DMOUSE.VXD). VxD drivers are sup****ted in Win9x-based OS (Win95,
98,
ME), but are not sup****ted in WinNT-based OS (WinNT, Win2000, WinXP,
Win2003). So, Doom 95 will not work with any mice at all in WinNT-based
system. By the way, look in README - this fact is described there.
