SUMMARY
If a Ballpoint mouse, connected to a PS/2 port, works correctly in real and standard modes but its pointer freezes in 386 enhanced mode, do the following:

 Check the disks that accompanied the Ballpoint mouse for the BPVKD.386 file. Copy the file into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.  Modify the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file as follows:      Change                              To      --                              --

[386enh]                           [386enh] keyboard=vkd.386                   keyboard=bpvkd.386  Save the file. Exit Windows and restart.

MORE INFORMATION
BPVKD.386 replaces the default virtual keyboard driver (VKD.386) for a ballpoint mouse plugged into a PS/2 port. It is used to put the mouse driver into ballpoint mode. Without it, the ballpoint input is treated as a normal mouse (non-ballpoint) signal.
