Pen Cursor Doesn't Appear When Tablet in Use

ID: Q83322

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

If you use a tablet after Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing is installed and no mouse cursor appears on the screen, use the YESMOUSE.DRV driver.

The mouse cursor is displayed only if the mouse driver detects that mouse hardware is present on the system. The workaround is to use the YESMOUSE.DRV driver, which displays the mouse cursor.

To install this driver, modify the SYSTEM.INI file. In the [boot] section, change the "mouse.drv=" line to:


   [boot]
   mouse.drv=yesmouse.drv

If the YESMOUSE.DRV file is not in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, then it can be expanded from the original disks using the EXPAND utility.
