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

manuals for instructions on using the COPY command.)

4. Log onto the directory that contains the MOUSE7PT.EXE and

MOUSE.COM 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.

If you included the file MOUSE.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS

file, repeat step 5 to modify MOUSE.SYS as well. Just

substitute .SYS for .COM.

6. Before you can use your mouse with the program, you need

to load the new mouse driver into the computer’s memory.

There are two ways to do this:

Type the name of the new mouse driver at the MS-DOS

command prompt and then start the program.

Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (or another batch

file) to include the name of the new mouse driver. See

your MS-DOS manuals for instructions.

Note

If you have already loaded the original mouse driver, reset

the computer before you load the new driver.
