MORE INFORMATION

To return your system to its previous condition before you ran the mouse Setup program, make the following modifications:

  1. If there are no other Microsoft input devices installed, then remove the following information from the load= line in the WIN.INI: 

          c:\msinput\pointer.exe

    Do not remove this value or any other values for this setting if there are other Microsoft input devices installed (such as the Microsoft Natural Keyboard).

  2. Change the following lines in SYSTEM.INI to read: 

          [boot]
      mouse.drv=mouse.drv


          [boot.description]
      mouse.drv=Microsoft, or IBM PS/2

          [386enh]
      keyboard=*vkd

        event, change the following line in SYSTEM.INI to read:


          [keyboard]
      subtype=
