Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0

SUMMARY

The Microsoft Windows version 3.0 disk set (5.25- and 3.5-inch) contains the Microsoft Mouse driver version 7.04 in compressed format.

MORE INFORMATION

MOUSE.COM (19218 bytes) and MOUSE.SY$ (19133 bytes) are on disk 4 of the 5.25-inch Windows 3.0 set and disk 5 of the 3.5-inch set. Both of these file are in compressed format, and must be decompressed using the Windows 3.0 EXPAND.EXE utility before they can be used. When MOUSE.COM version 7.04 is successfully expanded, the file size will be 31833 bytes, and MOUSE.SYS will be 31701 bytes.

It is recommended to load the MOUSE.COM version. To decompress the file and to set up your Microsoft Mouse the way the Microsoft Mouse Setup program would, do the following:

1. Determine if you have a C:\MOUSE1 or C:\MOUSE directory. If

   neither exists, then create a C:\MOUSE directory.

2. From disk 2 of the Windows 3.0 set (both 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch),

   copy the file EXPAND.EXE to the C:\MOUSE subdirectory.

3. Place the disk containing MOUSE.COM in drive A.

4. At the MS-DOS prompt from the C:\MOUSE subdirectory, type

   the following:

      expand a:\mouse.com mouse.com

   Note: MOUSE.COM in the C:\MOUSE directory should be 31833K bytes
   in size.

5. To have the Mouse driver load automatically, add the following

   line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

      c:\mouse\mouse /y

For more information of the /Y switch, query on the following words:

   mouse and /y
