= SYMPTOMS =

When you use the Packard Bell mouse with the Packard Bell mouse driver version 2.33 in Works, the cursor doesn’t blink if you are running in graphics mode.

= RESOLUTION =

To resolve this problem, contact Packard Bell?s technical support at (818) 886-2098 or (800) 733-4433 to obtain an updated mouse driver. To workaround this problem, run Works in text mode to obtain a blinking cursor.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To test for this problem:


 * 1) Restart the computer without loading the Packard Bell mouse driver.
 * 2) Start Works and choose Works Settings from the Options menu.
 * 3) Change the Screen Mode setting to Graphics and choose OK.

The cursor should now be blinking.
