The MOUSE.EXE file included with the Microsoft Mouse driver 9.0 performs the following load sequence:


 * 1) Process the command line and execute any switches.
 * 2) Read the mouse initialization file (MOUSE.INI) for settings.
 * 3) Locate the device by initializing device modules in the following order:

- PS2

- Serial

- Inport

- Bus
 * 1) Load video modules that are required for the system (for example, CGA or VGA).
 * 2) Move the device and video modules that initialized successfully, and discard initialization code that is no longer needed (compaction).
 * 3) Reset the mouse driver in its new location in memory.
 * 4) Terminate processing but stay resident in memory.
