SUMMARY
Installing a BallPoint Mouse for MS-DOS and Windows modifies the AUTOEXEC.BAT and Windows 3.0 SYSTEM.INI files, as well as create a new program group in Windows.



MORE INFORMATION
To have Windows load the original MOUSE.DRV, do the following:   In the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, remove the following line:      set mouse=c:\ballpt   In the [boot] section of the SYSTEM.INI file, change the line      mouse.drv=

to

     mouse.drv=mouse.drv If the BallPoint Mouse was attached to a PS/2 style port when installed, look for the [386Enh] section in SYSTEM.INI. Change the line      keyboard=

to

     keyboard=*vkd  From the MS-DOS prompt of the Windows subdirectory, type setup. Make sure that the &quot;Mouse:&quot; line reflects the type of mouse that was attached before the BallPoint Mouse. To remove the newly added BallPoint Mouse Windows group, delete each icon inside the group, then delete the group.</li></ol>
