Installing the Operating System
3 When you have completed the installation of Windows
Version 3.11, edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that the
computer will use the correct mouse driver.
When Windows Version 3.11 is installed, the computer might
be automatically configured to use the mouse driver
(MOUSE.COM) provided by Windows Version 3.11. However,
for correct operation, your computer must use the mouse
driver that came with DOS.
a) At the DOS prompt (usually C:\>), type
E \AUTOEXEC.BAT; then press Enter.
b) Find the line with the MOUSE statement. If the line is as the
following, change it to: C:\WINDOWS\MOUSE.COM /Y
c) Change it to: C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM /Y
d) Save the file and restart the system.
Note:
When 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.
You have completed the installation of Windows.
Go to “Installing the ThinkPad Features Program” on page 180.
