SUMMARY
=======

According to Packard-Bell technical support, any Genius Mouse being used on any
Packard-Bell machine should be set up for Microsoft Windows 3.0 as a "Mouse
Systems (or VisiOn mouse) on COMx" where x is either 1 or 2.

If it is not set up correctly, the mouse is unlikely to function properly.
Pointer movement may be erratic or a pointer may be present but it will not move
at all.
