Win2000 DOS mouse

[DinoSaurus]

When I go to DOS windows (promt DOS BOX) system auto load one mouse drive at High Memory.

There are any solution for do not load mouse drive at DOS BOX at High Memory?

Change the autoexec.nt file in {win}\system32 ?

Hello TonHu

Please correct my autoexec.nt:


@echo off

REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.

REM Install CD ROM extensions
REM lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
REM lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir

REM Install DPMI support
REM lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

Well, I don't see a mouse driver s-)
Just as suggested in your file, is there a special autoexec.bat for that shortcut? Or maybe it's loaded from config.nt or a special config.sys connected to the shortcut?
Must be some special mouse you are using, as using a Logitech myself, I don't have this issue

There is not enough info inthere so I still can't see where the driver is activated. I'd have to sit in front of your PC to find it I guess :-( Go and get a local PC techie to get you out of the woods, would be my best advice at this point.
