- Questions and Answers to Two Common Problems
-
- Q: 'I use a mouse all the time in Windows, but this program tells me that my
- mouse isn't connected."
- A: Windows talks with the mouse directly, but nearly all DOS programs
- communicate with the mouse through a mouse driver called MOUSE.SYS or
- MOUSE.COM. Typically, the CONFIG.SYS file should contain a line more or
- less reading like this:
- DEVICE=C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.SYS
- Alternatively, MOUSE.COM should be referred to in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- Have a person who is experienced in modifying these files install the
- mouse driver.
-
- Q: 'I keep getting a MISSING/INDISTINCT BEND OR HOOK message.'
- A: A hook represents a distinct flick of the brush with an abrupt change of
- direction. The last stroke of the character 'ye' (also, still, even) in
- Lesson 1 is a typical case in point. This stroke goes down, across, and
- then should abruptly flick upwards with a sharp angle.
