Summary:
When a Visual Basic program executes the SendKeys statement on an IBM
PS/2 computer when you move the mouse, Windows behaves erratically
until it is shut down. The erratic behavior is caused by continuous
phantom mouse clicks and mouse movement.
This information applies to Microsoft Visual Basic programming system
version 1.0 for Windows. This is a problem with Microsoft Windows
version 3.0, not Microsoft Visual Basic.
More Information:
If you are running Microsoft Windows 3.0 on a PS/2 computer and you
press the NUM LOCK key while moving the mouse, the mouse becomes
erratic. The Visual Basic SendKeys statement affects the NUM LOCK key,
thus causing this problem just as if NUM LOCK were pressed.
When you move the mouse, phantom Click events result in symptoms such
as applications unexpectedly launching, or the mouse pointer jumping
around the screen.
This problem has been reported to happen on the IBM PS/2 Model
50, Model 50z, Model 60, and Model 80.
