Using

the

MOUSE7PT.EXE Program

The MOUSE7PT.EXE program creates an additional mouse

driver which you can then load for any program that has trouble

controlling the cursor. Your original mouse driver remains
unchanged.

Note

If you are using Microsoft Windows 3.0, you do not need to

install this program to patch the mouse driver; Windows 3.0

automatically creates a new driver for you.

Follow these steps to install and run MOUSE7PT.EXE:

1.

Identify the disk and directory where the current
MOUSE.COM file is stored.

2.

Insert your Reference diskette in drive A.

3.

Use the COPY command to copy MOUSE7PT.EXE from
your Reference diskette to the directory on your hard disk
that contains the MOUSE.COM file. (See your MS-DOS

Reference Manual for instructions on using the COPY

command.)

4.

Log onto the directory that contains the MOUSE7PT.EXE

and MOUSECOM files.

5.

Type the following and press

Enter

to run the program:

MOUSE7PT MOUSE.COM newmouse.COM

(where

newmouse. COM

is the name you give the new

driver file.)

This command creates a new mouse driver that has been

modified to eliminate the cursor problem. When you name the
new driver, be sure to make the extension .COM.
