Mouse Setup Adds to a Full PATH Statement

 Last reviewed: September 16, 1996

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mouse Driver for Windows, version 9.0
  • Microsoft Mouse Driver for MS-DOS, version 9.0

When you run the Mouse Setup program, if you select the Add To Path option, Setup adds the Mouse path to the beginning of your PATH statement, even if your PATH statement is full (128 characters).

Items after the one-hundred-twenty-eighth (128th) character remain in the PATH statement but are not read into the environment.

To work around this problem, edit your PATH statement so that it contains no more than 128 characters.
