This article was previously published under Q130724



SYMPTOMS
On a computer with more than one mouse installed on different ports, one mouse is activated in MS-DOS and another is activated in Microsoft Windows.



CAUSE
If the Microsoft Mouse driver is loaded with a switch indicating the port to be searched for a mouse, the MOUSETYPE= line in the MOUSE.INI file is not updated.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
 * Upgrade the mouse driver to version 9.0 or later.
 * Edit the MOUSETYPE= line in the MOUSE.INI file to match the mouse you want to use.
 * Do not specify the port on the mouse command line.
 * Disconnect the other mice from the computer.
