SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical, the mouse is installed, but no mouse pointer appears as expected.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when there are invalid characters in the System.ini file.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.
 * 2) In the Named box, type system.ini, and then click Find Now.
 * 3) When the search is complete, double-click System.ini.

System.ini opens as a Notepad file.

 * 2) On the File menu, click Save.
 * 3) Close System.ini.
 * 4) Restart your computer.
