The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing, version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
After installing Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing, no mouse cursor appears on
the screen.
CAUSE
=====
The tablet drivers supplied with Windows for Pen Computing are not mouse
drivers. The mouse cursor is displayed only if a mouse driver detects the
presence of mouse hardware on the system.
RESOLUTION
==========
To ensure that the mouse cursor is shown, you must either load a mouse driver or
load the YESMOUSE.DRV file in place of a mouse driver. Mouse hardware is
required to use a mouse driver; mouse hardware is not required to use the
YESMOUSE driver.
MORE INFORMATION
================
When the Pen Windows system queries the hardware to determine whether a mouse is
installed, the YESMOUSE driver acts as the mouse hardware. Therefore, Pen
Windows acts as if a mouse is installed.
To install the YESMOUSE driver, modify the "mouse.drv" line in the [boot] section
of the SYSTEM.INI file as follows:
[boot]
mouse.drv=yesmouse.drv
If the YESMOUSE.DRV file is not in the Windows system directory, in the
SYSTEM.INI file, specify the complete path to the YESMOUSE.DRV file.
