Title: Anyone have a DOS mouse driver?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on June 21, 2004, 02:16:31 pm

I'm trying to play Privateer 2, you see, but it refuses to even install unless I have a DOS mouse driver, which I don't.
Google isn't being helpful at all, and M$'s site doesn't have one, or indeed anything, for DOS, by the looks of it.

[color=66ff00]IIRC if you make a generic win95B boot disk it'll have one. All you have to do is copy the driver and update config.sys and Autoexec.bat.

It's been a while since I played in DOS though so this might not be 100% correct.

[color=cc9900]A quick search of my "Pile 'o disks" turns up this on a floppy. The label reads:

MOUSE DRIVER
for
DOS and Windows 3.1 (95)
Version 1.00
Password: 2182288

And I've zipped up the contents and dumped them here:

Check out the "read.me" file, it tells you what to do. Enjoy.[/color]
