SYMPTOMS
When you set up the IntelliPoint or IntelliType software on a computer that starts from a floppy disk, the Autoexec.bat file on the hard disk is modified by Setup, rather than the Autoexec.bat file on the floppy disk.



CAUSE
Setup assumes that drive C is the boot disk, and modifies the startup files on that drive.



RESOLUTION
Transfer the changes made by Setup to the floppy disk. To do so, copy the modified lines from the Autoexec.bat file on the hard disk to the Autoexec.bat file on the floppy disk.

For example, copy the following lines to the Autoexec.bat file on the floppy disk:   c:\msinput\itype.exe set msinput=c:\msinput



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
