Windows NT

Can't Find the Mouse

There may be times when installing Win NT 4.0 that it can not detect the mouse. Even worse, the mouse service can not be started - period. According to the Microsoft Knowledge Base, this is normal with the release of NT 4.0 and can occur when performing an upgrade or under certain other conditions. If this happens, you may want to install the latest Service Pack which should fix the problem.

This error did occur on a test machine, and installing the service pack fixed the problem - just thought I would let you know. Getting *to* the download area wasn't fun without a mouse, though :(
