- If you have a WPS mouse pointer, you should have mouse support for DOS
- and WIN-OS2 sessions using the \OS2\MDOS\VMOUSE.SYS driver. Is it in
- your config.sys?
-
- If you have the wrong mouse driver (you probably did before using the
- Logitech driver), then VMOUSE generates an error on boot, and you
- might have deleted the line to correct the problem.

-
- No. It won't work. The COM port for the mouse is locked by OS/2 and
- PM, so it wouldn't work. You also couldn't install it, since
- WIN-OS2's setup program doesn't allow you to change anything other
- than the network setup.
