Problems with the Microsoft Mouse Driver 8.1 Setup (78292)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft Mouse driver for MS-DOS
This article was previously published under Q78292
SUMMARY
A copy of the disk containing the software for the Microsoft Mouse
driver version 8.1 does not let you run Setup if the volume label is
anything except Setup. The Microsoft Mouse Setup program runs only
on a disk made using the MS-DOS DISKCOPY command.
This information applies to version 8.1 of the Microsoft Mouse driver
for MS-DOS based systems.
MORE INFORMATION
If you try to run Setup with a copied version of Microsoft Mouse
8.1 driver, the following message is displayed:
*********************************************
Microsoft Mouse Setup
---------------------
---------------------
Insert Disk
Please insert the disk labeled SETUP
into drive A.
Press Enter to continue or ESC to return to
main menu.
*********************************************
When you copy the files from one disk to another, then try to run Setup,
the copied disk prompts you to put in the Setup disk as outlined above.
This is because the copied disk has no label, or is not labeled as
Setup.
If you are not sure if the disk is labeled or you think it is labeled,
type label at the drive prompt that the
disk is in. The label needs to be Setup for the Microsoft Mouse 8.1
Setup to work
Use one of the following two methods to label your disk:
Method 1
Type label at the drive prompt that
the disk is in. The following message is displayed:
Volume in drive ( Drive name ) has no label
Volume Serial Number is ( some number )
Volume Label (11 Characters, ENTER for none)?
Volume in drive ( Drive name ) is ( label name )
Volume Label (11 Characters, ENTER for none)?
On the line where the message says "Volume Label (11 Characters, ENTER
for none)?", type setup and press ENTER. This labels your disk as
Setup. You can now run the Setup program.
Method 2
Change drives to the drive that the disk is in. At the drive prompt,
type Label Setup, then press ENTER. This
labels the copied disk as Setup. You can now run the Setup program
