Summary:
SYMPTOMS
After installing Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing, no mouse
cursor appears on the screen.
CAUSE
The tablet drivers supplied with Windows for Pen Computing are not
mouse drivers. The mouse cursor is displayed only if a mouse driver
detects the presence of mouse hardware on the system.
RESOLUTION
To ensure that the mouse cursor is shown, you must either load a
mouse driver or load the YESMOUSE.DRV file in place of a mouse
driver. Mouse hardware is required to use a mouse driver; mouse
hardware is not required to use the YESMOUSE driver.
More Information:
When the Pen Windows system queries the hardware to determine whether
a mouse is installed, the YESMOUSE driver acts as the mouse hardware.
Therefore, Pen Windows acts as if a mouse is installed.
To install the YESMOUSE driver, modify the "mouse.drv" line in the
[boot] section of the SYSTEM.INI file as follows:
[boot]
mouse.drv=yesmouse.drv
If the YESMOUSE.DRV file is not in the Windows system directory, in
the SYSTEM.INI file, specify the complete path to the YESMOUSE.DRV
file.
