I recently upgraded to Microsoft Word 5.0. Along with some really nice improvements, they (Microsoft) have uncovered a "deficiency" in the HP-HIL mouse driver (MOUSE.SYS, version A.06.02). If the mouse is moving when Word updates the screen (or any part of the screen) portions of the screen are corrupted. According to Microsoft, "HP is revising the mouse driver." Is this true? Is it done? How can I get it? Thanks, Dex Smith Hewlett-Packard Company Corvallis Information Systems dex@cv.hp.com

BTW if you load the HP HIL mouse driver the banner has copyright notices from both HP and Microsoft. That is because the HP HIL mouse driver was developed for HP by Microsoft and it is Microsoft that is responsible for maintining it. So whoever you talked to is not quite correct in saying that "HP is revising the mouse driver."
