[comp.sys.hp] MS-Word 5.0 HIL Mouse Problems

dex@hpcvlx.HP.COM (Dex Smith) (07/21/89)

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,

There is a new mouse driver that just went out. It's revision
6.25.04. 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."

I am not quite certain about this. The mouse driver USED to be
part of the PC Kit. It may still be in the kit.
