SYMPTOMS
On IBM machines running the IBM DOS mouse driver version 1.0, the video display is a shade of green or yellow. The OK and Cancel buttons appear to be &quot;blacked&quot; out.

The solution to this problem is to remove the mouse driver from the AUTOEXEC.BAT or the CONFIG.SYS. If a mouse driver is needed at the MS-DOS level, the following two choices are available:


 * Use the Microsoft Mouse driver supplied with Windows 3.x.

--or--
 * Contact IBM for an upgrade to version 1.1.
