SYMPTOMS
Some IBM PS/2 models may appear to stop responding (hang) when you exit
Windows version 3.1. The computer eventually restarts; however, it remains
frozen for up to a minute while the mouse port is reinitialized.
CAUSEThis behavior is caused by a problem in the IBM PS/2 mouse BIOS. WORKAROUNDThe problem can be corrected by adding the following line to the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI: InitPS2MouseAtExit=FALSEThis prevents Windows from attempting to reinitialize the PS/2-style mouse port prior to exiting to MS-DOS. This may cause problems when you run some mouse-aware, MS-DOS-based applications after exiting Windows. PS/2 products included here are manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
