SUMMARY
This article describes how to manually install the Microsoft Mouse driver version 10.0 for MS-DOS that is shipped with the Microsoft IntelliPoint software versions 1.0 and 1.0a.



MORE INFORMATION
Versions of the Microsoft Mouse driver for MS-DOS prior to version 10.0 require only that you expand either the MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.EXE file to your computer's hard disk.

Version 10.0 of the Microsoft Mouse driver for MS-DOS requires language support files as well as the MOUSE.EXE file. To manually install the Microsoft Mouse driver version 10.0 for MS-DOS, follow these steps:

  Create an MSINPUT directory and an MSINPUT\MOUSE subdirectory by typing the following lines at an MS-DOS command prompt:      md c:\msinput md c:\msinput\mouse   Change to the MSINPUT\MOUSE subdirectory by typing the following line at the MS-DOS command prompt:      cd c:\msinput\mouse   Insert the IntelliPoint software disk in drive A (or drive B) and then expand the four necessary files by typing the following lines at the MS-DOS command prompt:      expand a:mouse.ex_ c:\msinput\mouse\mouse.exe expand a:mouse.en_ c:\msinput\mouse\mouse.lan expand a:mbpcpl.ex_ c:\msinput\mouse\mousecpl.exe expand a:mbpcpl.en_ c:\msinput\mouse\mousecpl.lan NOTE: If you are using drive B instead of drive A, substitute "b:" for "a:" in each of the four lines above. 

To set the appropriate environment variable and cause the mouse driver to be loaded automatically when you start your computer, follow these steps:

  Change to the root directory by typing the following line at an MS-DOS command prompt: <pre class="fixed_text">     cd \ </li>  Type the following line to open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for editing: <pre class="fixed_text">     edit autoexec.bat </li>  Add the following lines at the beginning of the file: <pre class="fixed_text">     SET MSINPUT=C:\MSINPUT C:\MSINPUT\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE /Q </li> Save and then close the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.</li> Restart your computer.</li></ol>
