Mouse Cursor Moves Slowly in MS-DOS Sessions (97679)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft IntelliPoint software 1.0
This article was previously published under Q97679 SUMMARY
If your mouse sensitivity is slower in MS-DOS-based applications than
it is in Windows or Windows-based applications, one of the following
may the cause: - You may have different sensitivities set for the MS-DOS environment
and the Windows environment. (The difference is most obvious in full
MS-DOS sessions.)
- If you are running MS-DOS virtual machines (that is, not full MS-
DOS sessions), both the Windows mouse driver and MS-DOS mouse driver
are accessed; this slows the responsiveness of the mouse.
MORE INFORMATION
The sensitivity used in an MS-DOS virtual machine (VM) is the Windows
sensitivity. The sensitivity used in a full MS-DOS session is the
MS-DOS sensitivity.
To set the sensitivity for the MS-DOS environment, use the mouse
driver CPANEL command (for versions 8.20 and earlier) or the MS-DOS
portion of MOUSEMGR (for version 9.0).
To set the sensitivity for the Windows environment, use POINT (for
versions 8.20 and earlier) or MOUSEMGR (for version 9.0).
