- Well, as the person who suggested this, I think I should respond.
- Personally, I see no reason for there NOT to be Vmouse.sys in one's
- config.sys file. OS/2 puts it in there by default, so anyone not having it
- had to remove it consciously. Either that, or they did not install
- dos support until later and|or Selective Install screwed it up.
-
- Make sure if you want to use DOS that you have ALL the "V" drivers
- loaded. The are necessary for Dos to run.
-
- No dos applications' mouse interface should work without this installed...
- windows and os2 have their own drivers though. I guess some programs
- that ignore mouse drivers and provide their own access should work.
-
- [ Wow I actually contributed to the FAQ! 8-) ]
