The PS/2 mouse driver doesn't work under Windows 3.0. The screen changes colours and gets idle. Does anybody knows where can I get a driver that woks under Windows 3.0 via FTP or e-mail? Thanks in advance Juan Carlos Cuesta vax839@tid.es jcuesta@dit.upm.es

I've been using it on several PS/2 systems for quite some time now. -- Marcelo Gallardo ...!princeton!deadzone!marcelo Test and Evaluation Specialist marcelo@sparcwood.princeton.edu Princeton University marcelo@phoenix.princeton.edu Advanced Technologies and Applications (609) 258-5661

The Microsoft Mouse driver (MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS) totally supports not only serial (COM1/2) mice, InPort (bus) mice, but also IBM PS/2 mice. First, copy EXPAND.EXE from Windows disk 1 into your Windows directory, then place disk 5 into drive A and type: EXPAND A:MOUSE.COM MOUSE.COM for the TSR version or EXPAND A:MOUSE.SY$ MOUSE.SYS for the device driver Use the Microsoft driver instead of the IBM one, and you should have no problems. MOUSE.COM can be loaded from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or from an INSTALL= line in your CONFIG.SYS if you're using DOS 4.0 or higher, and MOUSE.SYS should be installed in a DEVICE= line in your CONFIG.SYS. Both are supposedly equivalent, but I've run into some software that doesn't like the MOUSE.SYS version. - Darius ========================================================================= BITNET: U39648@UICVM | "Don't set fire to strangers."
