Hewlett-Packard Mouse Problems on HP QS 16s

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.

The mouse is not set up correctly for use with Windows.

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
