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.
