No Mouse with win 3.0

I am posting here because I could not find a forum topic for windows 3.0

I have just install win 3.0 ove ms dos 6.22. I did so without a mouse plugged in to the computer.

windows installed ok but now that I have plugged in the mouse and rebooted there is no mouse support.

Can someone suggest what I need. to do.

Thanks

 

What kind of mouse? PS2, Serial , USB?

With Win3 I would go with a serial mouse.
You need to install the drivers and assign it to COM1 and IRQ 4

Here is a quick reference

Win 3.0 is not an operating system such as Win95, it is a Graphical User Interface for the Ms-Dos operating system. Your Ms Dos 6.22 is still there and working.
To get the mouse working, all you need to do is add the startup line to the C:\Autoexec.Bat file, such as this one.

C:\Dos\MsMouse.Exe

If you do not have a dos mouse driver, there is a generic MS one here.
