Word 5.5: /i Switch Permanently Disables Blinking Cursor

PSS ID Number: Q69281 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

5.50

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The /i command line switch used to start Word for DOS version 5.5 in graphics mode without the blinking underscore cursor can permanently reset the cursor to a nonblinking underscore. If this occurs, the /z switch, used to reset command line switches to their default value, does not reset the cursor.

Deleting the MW.INI file also does not reset the cursor. The only way to restore the blinking cursor is to reinstall Word.

This problem seems to only occur if you use a non-Microsoft mouse and mouse driver. You should contact the manufacturer of your mouse for further information and possible solutions.
