- MICROSOFT MOUSE SOFTWARE NOTES
-
- Use of MS-DOS APPEND during Mouse installation:
- MSETUP may not work properly if you've used the MS-DOS APPEND command. If
- APPEND is in effect then remove it by typing APPEND; at the DOS command line
- (include the semicolon).
-
-
- Microsoft Mouse Drivers -- Older Versions:
- MSETUP will delete any line containing "CPANEL" in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- (unless the line starts with "SET," "PATH," or "REM").
-
- Single-drive PCs:
- If you have a single-drive PC without a hard disk, you will not be able to
- use the Mouse Setup program (MSETUP) to set up the mouse software.
-
- On a single-drive PC, you must install the mouse driver yourself. Copy MOUSE.
- COM onto the disk you use to start your computer. You can then load the mouse
- driver manually each time you start your system, by typing "mouse" at the DOS
- prompt, or you can insert the "mouse" command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to
- load the mouse driver automatically every time the system starts up.
-
- Loading the mouse driver automatically at system startup:
- MSETUP installs the mouse driver, MOUSE.COM. At your option, it will also
- modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so the mouse driver will load automatically
- every time you start your system. MSETUP will also insert comments (lines
- that begin with REM) in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to illustrate how the mouse
- utility SETSPEED.EXE can be invoked automatically as well. See your "
- Microsoft Mouse User's Guide" for a discussion of SETSPEED.EXE.
-
- Using the new Mouse software with Microsoft Windows:
- To use your new Mouse driver software, including the acceleration
- characteristics, with Microsoft Windows, replace the MOUSE.DRV file on the
- backup copy of your Windows Setup disk with the MOUSE.DRV file located on
- the Utility or Setup disk in your Microsoft Mouse package, make a backup copy
- of your WIN.INI file and rerun Windows Setup. For more information on installing
- Microsoft Windows, see the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide."
-
- Although harmless, CPANEL.COM does not operate correctly under Microsoft
- Windows.
-
- OS/2 mouse driver:
- This release includes two Microsoft OS/2 Mouse driver programs, one for OS/2
- version 1.1 and one for OS/2 version 1.2.
-
- OS2MOUSE.V11 is the driver for OS/2 version 1.1.
- OS2MOUSE.V12 is the driver for OS/2 version 1.2.
-
- Installation of the OS/2 mouse driver is done manually. That is, you must
- copy the appropriate driver to a directory of your choice then modify your
- OS/2 system configuration file, CONFIG.SYS, to include a reference to the
- driver.
-
- Sample OS/2 installation:
-
- Assume your device drivers are in the directory C:\OS2. First, copy
- OS2MOUSE.V11 or OS2MOUSE.V12 to that directory. Next, edit your CONFIG.SYS
- file to remove the line that references your current mouse driver. The
- specific contents of that line vary according to the type of mouse you have.
- An example of the line to be removed follows:
-
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\IBMMOU1.SYS (remove the line like this from CONFIG.SYS)
-
- Next, if you are using OS/2 version 1.2, you must also remove the line that
- references MOUSE.SYS from your CONFIG.SYS file. A sample of such a line
- follows:
-
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MOUSE.SYS TYPE=MSSER$ (remove this line for OS/2 1.2)
-
- Finally, insert one of the following lines in the CONFIG.SYS file
-
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2MOUSE.V11 (insert this line for OS/2 1.1)
- or
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2MOUSE.V12 (insert this line for OS/2 1.2)
-
-
- Note that the Microsoft OS2 mouse drivers will work with either type of
- Microsoft Mouse, InPort or Serial-PS/2. You do not need separate drivers for
- the different types of mice.
