Microsoft Mouse Driver 9.0: Pointer Options Not Saved

 Last reviewed: September 12, 1996
Article ID: Q111409
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mouse driver for Windows, versions 9.0, 9.01
  • Microsoft Mouse driver for MS-DOS, versions 9.0, 9.01
  • Microsoft Natural Keyboard with IntelliType software version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Extra Points features in the Mouse Manager program included with the Microsoft Mouse driver, the pointer options are not saved or written to the MOUSE.INI file when you are running a virus-protection program, such as Microsoft Anti-Virus (MSAV) or Central Point Anti-Virus (CPAV).

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, remove the CHKLIST.MS or CHKLIST.CPS file in the directory containing the mouse files. To determine the location of that directory, type "set" (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt. MS-DOS will return a list of locations of various files and memory strings. Look for the MOUSE= line, and then go to that directory and delete the CHKLIST.MS or CHKLIST.CPS file.
