MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

While running under the Windows interface, a mouse driver is installed for Windows, but the driver does not work with non-Windows applications such as Word, Works, Multiplan, and Flight Simulator. Therefore, the mouse will function with Windows and in Windows applications but not in non-Windows applications.

To use a mouse in non-Windows applications, the mouse must be installed through the CONFIG.SYS file (for example, DEVICE=C:.SYS).
