MORE INFORMATION

To install the Mouse Systems driver for COM1 from Windows 3.0, do the following:

1. Edit either the SETUP.INF or the OEM0.INF file. Use a text editor or the Windows-based application Write (WRITE.EXE). If Write is used, be sure to Choose No Conversion when opening the file, so it will be saved as a text file when you exit.



2. Add the following two lines to the [Pointing.Device] section. These lines should appear in the .INF file as one line each, not word wrapped.

   
        msmouse3 = 1:msmouse1.drv,"Mouse Systems (or VisiOn) connected to
        COM1:", x:*vmd
   
        msmouse4 = 1:msmouse2.drv,"Mouse Systems (or VisiOn) connected to
        COM2:", x:*vmd 




3. Copy the following two files to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory from the Windows 3.0 disks:

   MSMOUSE1.DRV
   MSMOUSE2.DRV




4. Run the maintenance mode of Windows setup to install the Mouse Systems driver. (See chapter 15 of the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide" for version 3.1).
