SUMMARY

The installation program for the Ballpoint Mouse for MS-DOS and Windows modifies the AUTOEXEC.BAT and Windows SYSTEM.INI files, and creates a new program group in Microsoft Windows.


MORE INFORMATION

To have Windows load the original Microsoft Mouse driver (MOUSE.DRV), do the following:

  1. In the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, remove the following line:
    
    set mouse=c:\ballpt 


  2. In the [boot] section of the SYSTEM.INI file, change the line
    
    mouse.drv= 
    to:
    
    mouse.drv=mouse.drv 


  3. In the [386Enh] section in SYSTEM.INI. Change the line
    
    keyboard= 
    to:
    
    keyboard=*vkd 


  4. From the MS-DOS command prompt of the Windows subdirectory, type setup. Make sure that the Mouse line reflects the type of mouse that was attached before the Ballpoint Mouse.


  5. To remove the newly added Ballpoint Mouse Windows group, delete each icon inside the group, then delete the group.
