The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
- Microsoft BallPoint Mouse 1.0
This article was previously published under Q82353 SYMPTOMS
If you use a Microsoft BallPoint Mouse on a laptop computer with a
power-saving suspend/resume function, the BallPoint mouse may behave
erratically upon resuming.
This problem occurs on laptop computers or other personal computers
with a suspend/resume function that includes powering down the PS/2
mouse port. The computer suspends normally, but when it resumes, the
BallPoint mouse cursor may not move away from the left edge of the
screen.
RESOLUTION
In Windows 3.0, the BallPoint mouse support is provided through a virtual
device driver named BPVKD.386. To correct the problem, remove the BPVKD.386
virtual device driver, thereby making the BallPoint an ordinary mouse.
In Windows 3.1 and 3.11, removing the BPVKD.386 does not resolve the
problem because the *vkd code for the BallPoint support is built into
Windows. The only way to correct this behavior is to obtain a PS/2 mouse
port BIOS update.
