This article was previously published under Q189597 SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Windows 98 on a Gateway 2000 Solo 2100 laptop
computer, Windows 98 Setup may not automatically detect your IntelliMouse
pointing device.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the Gateway 2000 Solo 2100 laptop computer
checks for a 3-byte data packet from the mouse, and the IntelliMouse sends
a 4-byte data packet.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the Add New Hardware wizard to install the
IntelliMouse, or use the PS/2 to Serial converter to connect the mouse to
the serial port on the computer.
