Ventura Publisher on a Full-Page Genius Display

ID: Q71051

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

When you use Ventura Publisher with a Micro Display Systems (MDS) Genius full-page display, the mouse cursor may not move smoothly (jerky or notchy movements). If you are having trouble with any version of Ventura Publisher on an MDS Genius, the best solution is to upgrade to the Microsoft Mouse driver version 8.00. The driver upgrade may be ordered through Microsoft Sales Information Center (MSIC) by calling (800) 426-9400.

This information applies to Microsoft Mouse driver versions 8.00 and earlier for MS-DOS systems.

* Rather than moving smoothly on the screen, the mouse cursor moves in discreet increments only. It appears to move in a step-wise manner -- jerky or notchy.
