You will need to load the mouse driver for DOS. Windows has its own mouse
drivers. Diskette #4 of Windows 3.1 on 5.25" floppy has the mouse.co_
and mouse.sy_ in compressed format. You will need to uncompress these
files using the expand command that is included with Windows:

Insert the Windows diskette that has the mouse.co_ or mouse.sy_
on it in drive A: (The assumption is being made that you have
a 5.25 in A: drive and you want to uncompress the mouse.co_)

From the C prompt with the Windows Diskette in drive A:

expand a:\mouse.co_ c:\mouse.com

	There will be some confirmation that states the process is complete.

edit your autoexec.bat so that the mouse.com command is in your autoexec.bat.
Make sure that your PATH statement includes the root directory or wherever
you want to move the mouse driver to.
