dos mouse driver

by Reuben Phillip » Tue, 08 Feb 2000 04:00:00

Greetings all,

My hard drive recently crashed and I was forced to replace/upgrade it.
Everything's fine but I no longer have mouse support when I switch to ms dos
mode.

Until I buy my new system I prefer to run N99 and ICR2 in full ms-dos mode
but my knowledge of dos is shot.  What lines do I need to add to command.com
to regain mouse support?

Thanks,
RDP

Hi,
There are a couple of ways you can get a mouse working in pure dos mode,
and that is by either loading it in the Autoexec.bat, Config.sys or typing
in the command at a dos prompt.

Have a look for your mouse driver and see what sort you have on your
system, or download one from the internet.
If your mouse driver has a "com" or "exe" extension, then you can just type
the name of it in a dos session and press enter and it will load it for
you.
However if your mouse driver has a "sys" extension, you will need to add it
into your config.sys to make it work.

If you have to add it to your config.sys file, the command you will need
is:  device=c:\mouse\mouse.sys
or similiar to that, depending on what your mouse driver is called and
where it is located..

If you can't find a mouse driver, or have problems, let me know and i will
send a small mouse driver to you, along with instructions on how to enable
it in dos mode.

Cheers,
Ron
