Hewlett-Packard Mouse Problems on HP QS 16s (82468)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q82468 SYMPTOMS
If you run Microsoft Windows on a Hewlett-Packard HP QS 16s machine (an
older HP Vectra model) with an HP mouse, the system may stop responding
(hang) if you move the mouse while playing a MIDI file.
CAUSE
The mouse is not set up correctly for use with Windows.
RESOLUTION
Do the following to ensure proper use of old HP mice:
- Make sure the following line exists in the [386Enh] section of
the SYSTEM.INI file:
device=HPEBIOS.386
This is a special virtual device driver (VxD) required for old HP
mice on older models of the HP Vectra.
- An HP Windows mouse driver is also required in the [Boot] section
of the SYSTEM.INI file. It should read as follows:
mouse.drv=hpmouse.drv
