SUMMARY
The Microsoft MS-DOS 5 Upgrade installs an EGA.SYS device driver in your CONFIG.SYS file if you have an EGA video card in your system. This device driver affects all versions of Paintbrush, causing the mouse to leave droppings when you move the cursor on the screen.



MORE INFORMATION
The MS-DOS 5 Upgrade installs the EGA device driver if your video card is an EGA card or if it supports EGA video mode. To solve this problem, remove the line from your CONFIG.SYS file that installs this device driver, then restart your machine.

Note: You may have difficulty with screen swapping when using Task Swapper in MS-DOS Shell.
