APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft IntelliPoint 1.0

-



This article was previously published under Q130599



SYMPTOMS
The IntelliPoint mouse driver version 1.0 may not work in a full-screen MS-DOS-based application when the previous mouse driver was not a Microsoft driver.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the IntelliPoint 1.0 Setup program does not update the MOUSE= line in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. If the pointing device specified in this line is not a Microsoft mouse driver, Setup does not remove it. Some of the third-party drivers specified in this line do not allow the mouse to work in full-screen MS-DOS-based applications running in Windows.



RESOLUTION
Change the MOUSE= line so that it reads:   MOUSE=*VMD



STATUS
This problem no longer occurs in the Microsoft IntelliPoint software version 1.0a.
