This article was previously published under Q84676

SYMPTOMS

When you try to run POINTER.EXE version 8.2 to change the size of the mouse cursor, the following message is displayed:
   This Version of Pointer Options requires MOUSE.DRV version 8.2 or
   later.
				

CAUSE

The MOUSE.DRV= line in the SYSTEM.INI file may be pointing to a MOUSE.DRV file that is earlier than version 8.2.

Attempting to use POINTER.EXE with a third party mouse driver (such as Logitech's LMOUSE.DRV) also causes the above message.
