MORE INFORMATION

The Mousemgr.dll file is placed in the C:\Mouse folder by default. If you need to replace the file, expand it from the original Microsoft Mouse disk using the following steps:
1.Place the Microsoft Mouse 9.01 disk in the appropriate floppy disk drive.
2.Type the following line at an MS-DOS command prompt
<fdisk>:\expand <fdisk>:\mousemgr.dl$ <hdisk>:\<windows>\mousemgr.dll
where <fdisk> is the drive letter of the floppy disk drive containing the Microsoft Mouse disk, <hdisk> is the drive letter of the hard disk on which Windows 95 is installed, and <windows> is the folder containing Windows 95.
For example,
a:\expand a:\mousemgr.dl$ c:\<windows>\mousemgr.dll

where <windows> is the folder containing Windows 95.
