TP General - How to load mouse driver support
Applicable to: World-Wide
This document contains instructions on how to install mouse support,
Note: These instructions apply to both the TrackPoint and external IBM PS/2 mice. If you are having problems with an external IBM PS/2 mouse, try disabling the Trackpoint. Any other type of mouse needs to be supported by the vendor.
Windows 95:
Windows 95 has built-in support for the TrackPoint and PS/2 mouse; if there is no mouse, make sure the TrackPoint is enabled.
Windows 3.1x:
1. Exit Windows.
2. Make sure your prompt reads C:\WINDOWS, if it does not then type CD C:\WINDOWS and press the Enter key.
3. Type SETUP and press the Enter key.
4. Using the Up and Down arrow keys select the Mouse setting and press the Enter key.
5. Scroll through the list and select MicroSoft, or IBM PS/2 setting and press the Enter key.
6. Scroll down to Accept the Configuration as Shown Above and press the Enter key.
7. If the next prompt says 'Should Windows install the current driver or would you like to install a new one?'; if you have Windows 3.1x disks select to use new driver otherwise select to use current driver.
8. Restart Windows.
OS/2:
Make sure the Config.sys contains the following two lines:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VMOUSE.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\MOUSE.SYS
DOS:
Make sure the Autoexec.bat file has the following line:
LOADHIGH C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM
Note: Mouse.com is part of PC-DOS. If the system has MS-DOS, you will need to get a copy of Mouse.com. At time of creation of this document, there is a file named PS2MOUSE.ZIP on the IBM BBS/WWW site which contains Mouse.com.
