TITLE: 941121 WIN-OS2 SESSIONS FAIL TO LAUNCH. BOOTLOG.TXT HAS AS IT,S
LAST STATEMENT, "LOADSTART=MOUSE.DRV"
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
WIN-OS/2 fails to launch if there is no mouse type specified
in MOUSE.INI
SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
Ensure the MOUSE.INI file has a type specified
DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:
When starting any WIN-OS/2 session (FS or Seamless), the session
will terminate before it starts. If initiated from an ICON, it
will hatch then unhatch. If initiated from a command line,
"Loading Please Wait..." will appear, then the session prompt
will re-display. If starting a WIN-OS/2 session from a command
line with a "/B" switch, the BOOTLOG.TXT file will show
LOADSTART=MOUSE.DRV as the last statement in the file. A look
at MOUSE.INI reveals "MOUSETYPE=". That statement MUST equal the
type of hardware installed on the system. When running in
DOS/WINDOWS, the system will query the hardware attached and
update MOUSE.INI accordingly. This is not occurring in OS/2.
APAR PJ16247 has been created to address this problem. Until
a resolution for the problem of why the MOUSE.INI file is not
being updated as it is in DOS/WINDOWS, ensure the MOUSETYPE=
statement in MOUSE.INI = <the mouse type described in the
boot.description section in syste
