Summary:
PROBLEM ID: WIN9107002
SYMPTOMS
When the Windows 3.0 demo engine Setup program is run on a machine
with a Logitech serial mouse, the mouse is not detected, and the
demo engine is configured as if the machine had no mouse.
CAUSE
The Setup program for the demo engine does not always recognize
Logitech serial mice.
RESOLUTION
If the Setup program does not detect a mouse, it will install the
default driver specified in ENABLER.INF. ENABLER.INF can be
modified to specify the Logitech serial mouse driver (LMOUSE.DRV),
instead of the "no mouse" driver (NOMOUSE.DRV) as the default
driver. If this change is made, and the demo engine is set up on a
machine that does not have a mouse, the Logitech serial mouse
driver will be installed. This will cause an unmovable cursor to be
displayed in the middle of the screen. In all other cases, the
correct mouse driver will be installed.
To make the serial Logitech mouse driver the default driver, the
following two changes should be made to ENABLER.INF:
1. Add "1:lmouse.drv" to the end of the [win.sys] section, which
lists the system files to be copied. After the modification the
section should resemble the following:
[win.sys]
1:KRNL286.EXE, "Windows System files"
1:DOSX.EXE
1:WINOLDAP.MOD
1:WINOA286.MOD
1:WIN87EM.DLL
1:lmouse.drv ; added
2. In the [machine] section, replace "nomouse" with "lmouse". After
the modification, the section should resemble the following:
[machine]
"MS-DOS or PC-DOS System","1" ;DO NOT CHANGE THIS NUMBER!!

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Windows Demo
Engine Setup Program version 3.00. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here as it becomes available.
