Does changing the port designation enable the mouse to work?
Action:
Check whether the correct port is designated:
1) Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS and locate a line with the word 'MOUSE...' similar to one of the following:
a) In AUTOEXEC.BAT: C:\DOS\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM /x
b) In CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=C:\DOS\MOUSE\MOUSE.SYS /x
2) After the word 'MOUSE' there may be a /1 or /2. If the digit is a 1, change it to 2; if it is a 2, change it to a 1.
3) Save the file and reboot the computer.
4) Watch for a message indicating that the mouse driver is being loaded during the bootup process.
5) Load an application that uses the mouse (e.g., Windows or OS/2).
6) Attempt to use the mouse.
