Frozen Ballpoint Mouse Pointer in Enhanced mode

• Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

If a Ballpoint mouse, connected to a PS/2 port, works correctly in real and standard modes but its pointer freezes in 386 enhanced mode, do the following:

1. Check the disks that accompanied the Ballpoint mouse for the BPVKD.386 file.



2. Copy the file into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.



3. Modify the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file as follows:

   
         Change                              To
         ------                              --
   
         [386enh]                            [386enh]
         keyboard=vkd.386                    keyboard=bpvkd.386 




4. Save the file.



5. Exit Windows and restart.

MORE INFORMATION

BPVKD.386 replaces the default virtual keyboard driver (VKD.386) for a ballpoint mouse plugged into a PS/2 port. It is used to put the mouse driver into ballpoint mode. Without it, the ballpoint input is treated as a normal mouse (non-ballpoint) signal.
