HP Mouse Stops in Windows

• Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

• The HP-HIL mouse may connect to the computer keyboard on some Hewlett-Packard (HP) Vectra machines and will not move while disk I/O is taking place. This is a hardware limitation of this mouse model and is not a Windows problem. The problem may be less evident outside of Windows because normal MS-DOS is not a multitasking environment.



• Using an older Hewlett-Packard (HP) MS-DOS mouse driver (MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS) with Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1 can cause the HP-HIL Mouse to freeze when switching between MS-DOS-based applications.
  
  The Microsoft MS-DOS mouse drivers will NOT recognize the HP HIL Mouse. The HP mouse driver must be used. Use the MOUSEHP.CO_ and MOUSEHP.SY_ from the Windows disks, and use the EXPAND utility to expand them into MOUSEHP.SYS and MOUSEHP.COM.
