  Warning!! Overwriting an old copy of the EGA Device Driver

Microsoft recommends that the MOUSE.SYS driver be loaded after the EGA.SYS
driver in the CONFIG.SYS. Both of these drivers are included with Microsoft
Windows version 3.0.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Windows 3.0 and the Microsoft
Mouse driver, version 7.04. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post
new information here as it becomes available.
