## Windows 3.1 Mouse Driver ##

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if any of you can help me. I've come across
an old laptop computer that is running Windows 3.1 - I am
trying to get it all up and running but have come across a
problem. Even though there is a mouse connected, there is
no mouse pointer on the screen - I'm guessing that this
means that there is no mouse driver installed.

I'm hoping that maybe someone out there might have a
compatible mouse driver for this operating system. The
mouse is a basic two button mouse, not PS2 but rather a 9
pin serial port connection (if that makes any difference).

I'd be very grateful if someone could help me out with
this as it's proving difficult to use with no mouse 😱)

Thanks

Andy

CuteMouse is a DOS-based, open source mouse driver, which supports
many protocols of serial and PS/2 mice. It can search for a serial mouse
at all COM ports or only at a specified port.
