- If you are having MOUSE problems under Windows NT, then read on.
-
- Microsoft Windows NT OCT 1992 Release does NOT support a BUS mouse. ATI
- has supplied a BUS mouse version called INPORT.SYS that replaces the
- Microsoft INPORT.SYS (at this point, it is the easy way).
-
- If you own these ATI graphics cards and your mouse plugs into the ATI card,
- then your Mouse will NOT work. Goto Installation Instructions.
- Graphics Ultra Pro
- Graphics Ultra +
- VGA Wonder+
-
- If you own these ATI graphics cards, your Mouse should work.
- Graphics Ultra
- Graphics Vantage
- 8514/Ultra (trick question, there is NO mouse port)
- VGA Wonder XL
- VGA Wonder XL24
- VGA Stereo FX
-
-
- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------------------
-
- In the C:\WINNT\SYSTEM\DRIVERS directory, rename INPORT.SYS to INPORT.INP.
- Copy the new INPORT.SYS mouse driver to the C:\WINNT\SYSTEM\DRIVERS
- directory.
- This lets Windows NT believe it is using an INPORT mouse.
-
-
- MOUSE PROBLEMS ---------------------------------------
-
- Mouse does not Move in Windows NT. If the mouse is connected to the
- ATI graphics adapter, then these problems may be at fault.
-
- -- The ATI mouse driver expects mouse setup to use IRQ 5 and primary
- address.
-
- Use the Windows NT Setup program to verify an Inport mouse is selected.
- If it is NOT, login as the administrator and select Inport mouse.
-
- The default ATI mouse configuration CONFLICTS with the default
- Future Domain TMC-845 SCSI adapter. Both use IRQ5 Interrupt. Change
- the Future Domain, or the ATI Mouse IRQ using the ATI Install program.
- Read the following paragraphs.
-
- The ATI mouse may be configured to use a DIFFERENT IRQ and I/O address.
- This requires a bit of manual installation (for now), and here is how
- to do it.
-
- a) Boot DOS and run the ATI Installation utility to determine the MOUSE
- IRQ and I/O address. Remember these values. Depending on your card
- the program may be called INSTALL.EXE, VINSTALL.EXE, or C-INFO.EXE.
-
- b) Boot Windows NT and execute the Registry Editor REGEDIT.EXE (it is
- on the PATH).
-
- c) change to
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Inport\Parameters
-
- d) Select EDIT -- ADD VALUE called Irq
- Data type is REG_DWORD
- Value is 2,3,4 or 5 according to your configuration
- select OK to add this parameter.
-
- d) Select EDIT -- ADD VALUE called IoBase
- Data type is REG_DWORD
- Value is 23C hex or 238 hex according to your configuration
- select OK to add this parameter.
-
- e) The new values should be added to the list on the right.
- Exit Registry Editor, Reboot Win NT, mouse should work.
-
-
- -- Sometimes because the Bus mouse interrupt is always enabled,
- during Windows NT startup (blue text screen visible) an Unexpected
- IRQL error occurs.
- To work around this, disable the mouse interrupt temporarily by :
- Boot MS-DOS
- run debug
- o23E 10
- q
- Boot Windows NT
