WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer has a Microsoft Ballpoint mouse attached to the PS/2 mouse port on a laptop computer. The mouse pointer is erratic when the user runs WP 5.1 for DOS under Windows 3.1. The customer is using a MOUSE.COM driver because none of WP 5.1 mouse drivers work with the Ballpoint mouse in a PS/2 mouse port. Solutions: The customer switched to the WP51-386.PIF file instead of the WP.PIF file to start WP 5.1 and the problem no longer occurred. How/Why: The WP51-386.PIF file is slightly different than WP.PIF file. The main difference is that the Exclusive box is checked in the WP51-386.PIF file. Customers who experience this problem can change their current .PIF file so that Exclusive is checked.
