Hello all, Does anyone know how to install the AMOUSE3.DRV driver supplied with the 386-BB into Windows 3.1? I tried the setup program from both DOS and Windows as the Windows manual suggests, but I keep getting an error claiming a missing OEMINFO file (I think that was the name). I'd rather use one mouse for double duty, if possible. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Yes, Go into your windows setup and set your mouse to microsoft. Then go delete the mouse.drv from your \windows dir. Copy AMOUSE3.DRV to \windows, and rename it to mouse.drv. Dave Elite MicroComputers – Flying high on AutoPilot

Dave, Actually all he needs to do is set the mouse driver path to whereever it is as amouse3.drv. Don't even need to rename it.

Martin, Use filemanager to edit system.ini. The first section is [boot] and about 2 lines down is the mouse driver path. mouse.drv=c:\janus\amouse3.drv This will enable a decent mouse action via the bboard. Pete Pete From Dorset in Englands westcountry

Pete, BUT will it make the Windows pointer work for mouse support in windowed DOS sessions (eg. in EDIT)? (I suspect it won't.) I find I usually have to put Microsoft's MOUSE.COM into the autoexec.bat to get proper results. Malcolm

Can't really answer that but just say that it works fine with Norton for dos. Pete From Dorset in Englands westcountry
