Default

simply first you need a driver for your mouse (you can get one which takes up small memory space here on abandonia). It will be a file named mouse.com (or .exe) possibly accompanied by other files.

Then you open your autoexec.bat file with a text editor. if oyu have windows that will be notepad, while DOS had "edit" program so you would type in Edit autoexec.bat

Anyway once you open the file you simply add mouse.com in last line (or mouse.exe depends on your driver). and save the file.

This will basically give your computer a command that it should launch your mouse driver when it boots in dos.

A simpler way would be to create a boot disk like the one on abandonia, who should (i think) install the mouse driver as well.

Anyway i would have to check my autoexec.bat config on this issue to be more precise, so let us know if you are still having troubles with mouse.
