IBM Partner Pavilion TrackPoint - Manual (Page 16)

Installing the Device Driver for DOS, Windows 3.1 or
OS/2 Version 3
Important: If you are using DOS Version 5.02 or later, Windows
3.1, or IBM OS/2 Version 3, you do not need the Option Diskette.
The mouse device driver is included in the operating system, but must
be activated to use the TrackPoint pointing device. If a mouse already
works on your computer system, you do not need to do anything
further.
Note: Scrolling, Press-to-Select, and Magnification features are not
available in these operating systems.
Your system must have MOUSE.COM installed in order to activate
the DOS mode mouse device driver. The setup of some operating
systems, however, might not provide a selection for TrackPoint. If
there is no selection for TrackPoint, select the IBM PS/2 mouse
instead. Refer to your operating system documentation for selecting
pointing devices.
Activating the DOS Mode Device Driver
To activate the DOS TrackPoint device driver:
1. Start the computer.
2. Type MOUSE and press Enter. This command activates the
MOUSE.COM program.
The device driver activation is now complete.
Activating the TrackPoint Device Driver Automatically in DOS
To activate TrackPoint automatically whenever you start the computer,
add the MOUSE command to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on either
drive C or the diskette that contains DOS.
1. Use a text editor such as edit or e to edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
2. Type MOUSE at the left margin of a blank line.
3. Save the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Note: If you are using the DOS Shell, the MOUSE statement must
appear before the DOSSHELL statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Refer to the DOS documentation for more information on the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
