Cursor Image Saved After Executing DOS Command with Function 1

ID: Q44451

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Mouse Driver for MS-DOS, versions 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, and 9.0

SUMMARY

If a program uses Microsoft Mouse Function 1 to show the mouse cursor, and if the program returns to MS-DOS after execution, the cursor image is saved every time an MS-DOS command is executed and the screen is thus scrolled.

The only workaround is to hide the mouse cursor before executing an MS-DOS command and redisplaying the cursor.
