When you have completed the installation of Windows, edit the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that the computer will use the correct
mouse driver:
a
At the DOS command prompt (usually C:\>), type
E:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
and press Enter.
b
Find the line:
C:\WINDOWS\MOUSE.COM /Y
c
Change it to:
C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM /Y
d
Find the line that includes
SHARE.EXE
and delete that line.
e
Save the file and restart the computer.

After installing Windows, you should check the creation date of
the following drivers in the DOS subdirectory, the Windows
subdirectory, and the CDROM subdirectory:
EMM386.EXE (loaded by CONFIG.SYS)
HIMEM.SYS (loaded by CONFIG.SYS)
SMARTDRV.EXE (loaded by AUTOEXEC.BAT)
MSCDEX.EXE (loaded by AUTOEXEC.BAT)
Then use the newest program among the ones for the DOS,
Windows, and CDROM directories for each drivers.
You can easily use the newer one by changing the subdirectory
name in the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT. For example,
if the ones in DOS were the newest, you would change:
C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE
to:
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE
If you start Windows from the DOS prompt, do not close the LCD
while the program is loading; if you do, the computer will stop
running.
