The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.0a
This article was previously published under Q72231 SYMPTOMS
When you switch to Windows Paintbrush from Word for Windows or from Windows
Write, the Paintbrush cursor may not reappear if Windows was configured for
no mouse. The cursor is functional but is invisible. To determine that the
cursor is functional, hold down the INS key and press one of the arrow keys
to paint.
NOTE: This problem seems to occur only when Paintbrush is loaded first.
WORKAROUND
Loading Word for Windows or Windows Write before loading Paintbrush appears
to solve the problem.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Paintbrush version 3.0. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
