SYMPTOMS
========

Your mouse stops responding during idle periods. You must reboot your computer
to again control your mouse.

CAUSE
=====

The ROM BIOS on your computer does not correctly support your mouse port. This
problem has occurred on a Gateway 2000 P5/90 with an AMI BIOS and Microsoft
serial mouse.

RESOLUTION
==========

Upgrade your computer BIOS. In the case above, the AMI BIOS was upgraded to
revision 1.00.09.AX1T. Contact your hardware vendor for more information.

The Gateway and AMI products included here are manufactured by vendors
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding
