- Hi, Janet !
-
- I faced the same problem on the very same model of computer. When asking for
- help I was told to add the following line to my system.ini-file, in the
- 386Enh-section:
-
- InitPS2MouseOnExit=false
-
- It seems, Windows is trying to initialize a PS/2-mouse but can't find
- one. This procedure causes the extra exit time.
-
- Unfortunately this didn't work for me, hope it does for You !
-
- All the best,
- Greetings from Finland,
