5.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

The Microsoft Bus Mouse does not function correctly when running Word version 5.00 in text mode with MOUSE.SYS version 6.25.21 on an IBM PS/2 Model 25 or 30 with an MCGA.

Common problems are as follows:


 * 1) If you move the mouse cursor to the first line of the document and click the left mouse button, a window split occurs.
 * 2) If you click at a location lower in the document, the cursor will be positioned several lines above where you actually click.
 * 3) Functionality of the mouse eventually is lost as you move further down the document.

This problem can be corrected by using the video driver (MCGA.VID) supplied on the application note titled “Additional Screen Drivers.” The application note can be obtained by calling Microsoft Product Support Services at (206) 454-2030.
