10.1 Microsoft Mouse

   Windows 3.1 includes version  8.20 of the Microsoft  mouse drivers. If you
   have  a  Microsoft  mouse,   Setup  installs  the   Windows  mouse  driver
   (MOUSE.DRV) in your  Windows SYSTEM directory  and an  MS-DOS mouse driver
   (MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS) in your Windows directory. If you have additional
   versions of the Microsoft mouse drivers on your system, make sure that you
   are using the mouse drivers provided with Windows 3.1.

   If you use  the Microsoft Mouse  Control Panel  version 8.0  or later, you
   need to set your MS-DOS mouse variable to  the directory on your hard disk
   that contains the control-panel program files POINT.EXE and PANEL.COM.

   You can do this by  modifying your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  For example, if the
   control-panel program files are located in the \MOUSE directory, you would
   add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

     set mouse=c:\mouse

   This ensures  that the  mouse settings  are stored  in the  MOUSE.INI file
   located in  the specified  directory. If  the  mouse variable  is  not set
   correctly, you may experience  problems with mouse  acceleration and other
   mouse settings.

   It is  recommended that  you use  the  mouse driver  MOUSE.COM  instead of
   MOUSE.SYS, and that you load MOUSE.COM from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If you
   use MOUSE.SYS,  you may  encounter problems  saving MS-DOS  mouse control-
   panel settings. If  you must use  MOUSE.SYS and  encounter problems saving
   mouse settings, make sure you load it from your mouse directory instead of
   from your Windows directory.

   For more information about installing the mouse drivers, see Chapter 4,
   "Troubleshooting," in Getting Started with Microsoft Windows.
