DESCRIPTION

The mouse device driver does not load in Net Server mode. A message 
prompts you to press Enter, but the keyboard does not work.

RESOLUTION

Note: Make sure you have a backup of any file you intend to change.

You can either:

* Remove mouse-support statements from the CONFIG.SYS file, or
* Add PAUSEONERROR=NO to the CONFIG.SYS file.

The first method is better if you start the system in Net Server mode; 
otherwise, the second method is better.

Removing Mouse-Support Statements
---------------------------------
1. At a command prompt, type E CONFIG.SYS and press Enter.

2. Remove the following statements:

      DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VMOUSE.SYS
      DEVICE=C:\OS2\POINTDD.SYS
      DEVICE=C:\OS2\MOUSE.SYS

   Note: If there are any other mouse statements, remove them too.

3. Save and exit the file; then restart the system.

Adding PAUSEONERROR Statement
-----------------------------
1. At a command prompt, type E CONFIG.SYS and press Enter.
2. Add the statement, PAUSEONERROR=NO.
3. Save and exit the file; then restart the system.
