Important Information for Mouse Users This information applies only to those who have a mouse connected to the mouse port; a serial mouse is not affected by the password prompt Off mode. The password prompt Off mode prevents the computer from detecting that a mouse is attached. Because the mouse device driver will not be loaded automatically through the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files in this mode, an error message that the mouse port is disabled will appear and the computer will halt. To enable the operating system to load without displaying the error message, read the information below that applies to your operating system. If you are using OS/2, do one of the following before enabling password prompt Off mode: Set the CONFIG.SYS file so the operating system does not stop on a device-driver error. To do this, put the command PAUSEONERROR=NO near the top of the CONFIG.SYS file. or Remove the mouse driver statement from the CONFIG.SYS file. If you are using Windows 95, do the following: When the computer is started and the mouse port disabled error message appears, enter either your power-on or administrator password to enable the keyboard. Then use the keyboard to put a check mark in the "Do not display this message in the future" check box. In the password prompt Dual mode, the startup behavior of the computer depends on whether the computer is started by pressing the power switch or by an unattended method, such as Wake on LAN. If you start the computer by using the power switch, the computer operates the same as it does in password prompt On mode. Refer to page 44 for further information. Chapter 4.

Important Information for Mouse Users
This information applies only to those who have a mouse connected
to the mouse port; a serial mouse is not affected by the password
prompt Off mode.
The password prompt Off mode prevents the computer from
detecting that a mouse is attached.
Because the mouse device driver
will not be loaded automatically through the CONFIG.SYS or
AUTOEXEC.BAT files in this mode, an error message that the mouse
port is disabled will appear and the computer will halt.
To enable
the operating system to load without displaying the error message,
read the information below that applies to your operating system.
If you are using OS/2, do one of the following before enabling
password prompt Off mode:
±
Set the CONFIG.SYS file so the operating system does not stop on
a device-driver error.
To do this, put the command
PAUSEONERROR=NO near the top of the CONFIG.SYS file.
or
±
Remove the mouse driver statement from the CONFIG.SYS file.
If you are using Windows 95, do the following:
±
When the computer is started and the mouse port disabled error
message appears, enter either your power-on or administrator
password to enable the keyboard.
Then use the keyboard to put
a check mark in the "Do not display this message in the future"
check box.

In the password prompt Dual mode, the startup behavior of the
computer depends on whether the computer is started by pressing the
power switch or by an unattended method, such as Wake on LAN.
If you start the computer by using the power switch, the computer
operates the same as it does in password prompt On mode.
