Hewlett-Packard Mouse Problems on HP QS 16s

ID: Q82468

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS

If you run Microsoft Windows on a Hewlett-Packard HP QS 16s machine (an older HP Vectra model) with an HP mouse, the system may stop responding (hang) if you move the mouse while playing a MIDI file.

CAUSE

The mouse is not set up correctly for use with Windows.

RESOLUTION

Do the following to ensure proper use of old HP mice:

Make sure the following line exists in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file:
```
      device=HPEBIOS.386 
```
This is a special virtual device driver (VxD) required for old HP mice on older models of the HP Vectra.

An HP Windows mouse driver is also required in the [Boot] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. It should read as follows:
```
      mouse.drv=hpmouse.drv 
```
