    Run Setup using the Microsoft Mouse driver version 8.x Setup disk.

    1. Delete the 9.0 or 9.01 files in the current mouse directory (usually C:\MOUSE).

    2. Run Setup using the Microsoft Mouse driver version 8.x Setup disk.

    3. Open the SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows directory.

    4. Change the following line in the [386Enh] section from
