If you have a single-drive PC without a hard disk, you will not be
able to use the Mouse Setup program (MSETUP) to set up the mouse
software.
   MSETUP installs the mouse driver, MOUSE.COM.
   On a single-drive PC, you must install the mouse driver yourself in
one of the following two ways:

   Manual Installation:      Copy MOUSE.COM onto the disk you use to
                             start your computer. You can then load
                             the mouse driver manually each time you
                             start your system, by typing "MOUSE" at
                             the DOS prompt.

   Automatic Installation:   With MOUSE.COM on the disk you use to
                             start your computer, you can modify your
                             AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that the mouse
                             driver is automatically loaded each time
                             you start your system. Add the line
                             "MOUSE" to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to
                             automatically load MOUSE.COM when you
                             start your computer.

Program Does" section of the "Microsoft Mouse User's Guide."
