MS-DOS Mouse Driver Does Not Use Primary Mouse Button Setting
Article ID: 165751
Article Last Modified on 11/21/2003
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft IntelliMouse 1.0
- Microsoft IntelliPoint 2.0
This article was previously published under Q165751
SYMPTOMS
If you use the IntelliPoint software to configure your IntelliMouse to use
an alternate button as your primary mouse button, the change may not be
applied to the MS-DOS mouse driver.
CAUSE
The Msinput.ini file is not updated to reflect the new configuration.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, edit the Msinput.ini file in the Msinput folder
to reflect the appropriate primary mouse button. The "Primarybutton=x"
setting in the [mouse] section of the Msinput.ini file determines which
button the MS-DOS mouse driver uses as the primary button. Use one of the
following settings:
- x=1 sets the left mouse button
- x=2 sets the middle (wheel) button
- x=3 sets the right mouse button
