Mouse Driver Conflicts with Novell NetWare Network Software

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

SUMMARY

Using the Microsoft Mouse driver MOUSE.COM versions 7.0 through 8.2 may cause problems with Novell NetWare network software.

To work around the problem, use MOUSE.SYS, or change the order that MOUSE.COM is loaded relative to the network software.

MORE INFORMATION

Some symptoms of a mouse-network conflict include problems logging on to the network, no mouse response even after a "Mouse Driver installed" message, and intermittent machine hangs.

If the MOUSE.COM file is being loaded before the network software, try loading it after the network software is loaded. If the network software is being loaded first, try loading it last. In every case, make sure that the mouse driver is on the local workstation and not on a network drive.

Microsoft does not support using a Microsoft Mouse with Novell NetWare. If the above suggestions do not solve the problem, call Novell NetWare technical support.
