Symptoms

Visible mouse pointer is offset (possibly by several inches) from the "effective" internal location for MSWin applications run in "seamless" mode (windowed on the OS/2 desktop).

Hardware

Dell Computer systems with MSWin pre-installed.

Problem

This appears to be the result of a Dell-specific version of the MSWin MOUSE.DRV driver.

Fix

Obtain a copy of MOUSE.DRV from a standard version of MSWin, or download an updated driver from Dell.

FTP:  dell1.us.dell.com, file /dellbbs/os2/mouse.zip
      (possibly ftp.dell.com)
BBS:  512-728-8528, OS/2 directory, file MOUSE.ZIP

Rename the current driver (e.g. to DELMOUSE.DRV) and copy the new driver into the MSWin SYSTEM directory (usually named \WINDOWS\SYSTEM)

Notes

This has also been reported as a fix for a similar problem for Zeos computers.
