I have a small problem with MS Word 4.0. After upgrading my monitor to VGA, the mouse cursor inside the Word dissapears at graphics mode, but it works when I change it to the text mode. Any suggestion ? harnyo@eniac.seas.upenn.edu

Long shot here, if you have a bus mouse, see if the IRQ on the board for the mouse is set at 2. If so, change it, the VGA board also uses IRQ=2. Tim. -- Tim Lange. Purdue U.

I think this subject is documented (in a general sense) in the Word readme.doc file. We got our fix by calling Microsoft tech support, which is generally quite helpful. Bruce Carlson
