If you are using the Microsoft mouse driver, version 7.0, and the cursor is not operating properly within an application program, you may need to install the patch described below. For example, the cursor may freeze or move incorrectly when you are using the AutoCAD program.
This patch creates an additional mouse driver which you can then load for any program that has trouble controlling the cursor. The original mouse driver remains unchanged. The MOUSE7PT.EXE patch file is in the UTILS directory on your Utility 1 diskette.
Follow these steps to install the patch:
1.Insert your Utility 1 diskette in drive A. Then type the following and press Enter to log onto the UTILS directory:
A:\UTILS
2. Type the following and press Enter:
MOUSE7PT C:\MOUSE.COM NEWMOUSE.COM
(where C : \ is the drive and directory in which MOUSE.COM is stored, and NEWMOUSE.COM is the name you give the new driver file).
This command creates a new mouse driver named NEWMOUSE.COM that has been patched to eliminate the cursor problem. You can, of course, give the new mouse driver a name other than NEWMOUSE.COM; just be sure to make the extension .COM.
