If the MOUSE.COM driver is installed, the MOUSE OFF command deallocates the driver from memory if no other memory-resident programs are loaded after it. If the MOUSE.SYS driver was installed, the MOUSE OFF command disables the driver, but does not deallocate it. Even if the mouse driver is deallocated or disabled, the mouse hardware continues to send interrupts.
